CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carl Edwards has been placed on three weeks' probation by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Brad Keselowski's car during last weekend's race at Atlanta.
Edwards returned to the track after an earlier wreck with Keselowski and then caused a crash that sent Keselowski's car flying. NASCAR president Mike Helton says there are two separate issues: the wreck itself, and the fact that Keselowski's car went airborne. He says NASCAR is reviewing why the car left the track, and adds that NASCAR will meet with both drivers and their car owners to "clean the slate."
