  Hey Wallace, what happened to Carl Edwards, man?
• 0:05
  What happened? His wife?
• 0:06
  I heard his wife told him he had to quit spend more time at home.
• 0:11
  Hey Wallace. Our Carl Edwards, had a head
• 0:15
  injury, man. We've heard all haven't we?
• 0:21
  Just went to Waffle House. I like my Davey Allison hat.
• 0:26
  Come on. So, the big story in the garage
• 0:32
  area is Jeff glueck on his Twitter timeline.
• 0:40
  Reported that Jordan Bianchi. I think I said it right Bianchi,
• 0:46
  remember only when one through 12 so don't hold me to any High
• 0:50
  esteem I'm not that smart. I only went one through 12.
• 0:55
  So let's address this. What happened to Carl Edwards?
• 1:01
  Today's story is quite eye-opening.
• 1:04
  So here here's the disclaimer, when I say disclaimer, here's
• 1:08
  the story. Here's the timeline TRD.
• 1:12
  Toyota Racing development, president.
• 1:15
  David Wilson does an interview and says to this day the one
• 1:22
  thing that burns my ass was that fake caution that caused Carl
• 1:27
  Edwards. The NASCAR Cup Championship Dan
• 1:31
  at Miami Homestead. So Carl Edwards has his big old
• 1:35
  lead over a straight away. He's going to win the
• 1:37
  championship and back. In those days, we had these
• 1:40
  things called Jacques de Buri. Jacques debris was a phantom,
• 1:46
  caution meeting. Meaning that the race was born
• 1:50
  in, NASCAR became very famous and kind of laughed it off.
• 1:55
  Oh nothing, nothing better than a good caution to gather the
• 1:58
  filled up. So, except this one went bad,
• 2:03
  they threw the caution. And here's what happened.
• 2:06
  When they threw the caution this time, it wasn't simply to gather
• 2:11
  the filled up or not Midway through the race.
• 2:14
  This one, NASCAR took a big bite out of the Apple.
• 2:18
  It was for the championship. So the next thing that happens,
• 2:23
  it all goes wrong. They're thinking that they're
• 2:26
  just gonna have a good finish. Well, if we remember Joey,
• 2:30
  Logano gets on the inside of Carl Edwards, Carl Edwards
• 2:34
  turns, left, the blocking all hell breaks loose.
• 2:38
  Carl Edwards, go smashing into the wall.
• 2:40
  It was a violent wreck. They were still going up through
• 2:43
  the gearboxes second, third, fourth bad wreck.
• 2:50
  So the Phantom caution that Jacques debris.
• 2:55
  Remember when Fox Sports? They were like, oh, Was the
• 2:58
  caution because everybody's like what's caution for.
• 3:01
  So, it got so bad to the point Fox.
• 3:05
  NASCAR on Fox said, there it is, they had to find it.
• 3:09
  Couldn't find it. It was Jacques debris.
• 3:11
  It was a phantom caution. Now, that is the disclaimer,
• 3:15
  that's the story. Now let's fast forward to right
• 3:19
  now. David Wilson the president of
• 3:22
  Toyota Racing development tells the truth.
• 3:26
  In this incredibly scathing I sound like TMZ right now but
• 3:33
  when I read and I went. Whoa.
• 3:35
  So David Wilson says, the one storyline in my NASCAR career,
• 3:43
  now this is David Wilson, the president toy or Toyota Racing
• 3:47
  development. He says was when they when
• 3:49
  NASCAR through the fake caution and he said we went to NASCAR
• 3:55
  after Carl Edwards, losing that championship and we told NASCAR,
• 3:59
  we were not happy and they were loud and clear.
• 4:05
  Well, so what happened to Carl Edwards?
• 4:09
  Here's my take on what happened to Carl Edwards, I believe, and
• 4:14
  maybe when Carl watches this he'll come out one day.
• 4:17
  I believe that Carl Edwards was very frugal I think the Carl
• 4:25
  Edwards had north of 50 million dollars.
• 4:28
  Saved up lives up here in Columbia, Missouri, maybe 80 to
• 4:32
  100 miles for I live right here, Arnold Missouri, will you give
• 4:38
  somebody around Missouri, north of 50 million dollars in, you
• 4:41
  know, I don't know. Let's say Carl was knocking down
• 4:44
  10 million a year for 10 years, a hundred million dollars.
• 4:49
  He only had one thing, he had a jet and that's because I always
• 4:53
  said, That Carl Edwards was a Boy Scout.
• 4:57
  He did Boy Scout things, Carl Edwards.
• 5:00
  Try to see if he could always do more with less.
• 5:05
  I flew with Carl one time. I said, Carl, where's your
• 5:08
  where's your suitcase? Where's your stuff?
• 5:10
  He's the pilot. I'm riding shotgun or flying up
• 5:13
  to a Bristol. It goes all mannequins that I
• 5:16
  just I just go to the front counter.
• 5:18
  They give me daughter teeth and little little, you know, comb.
• 5:23
  So I figured And Carl Edwards out at that time, he's pretty
• 5:26
  Frugal. I always make this joke.
• 5:28
  Missouri frugal I believe Carl Edwards has all the money.
• 5:33
  He needs doesn't need anymore. He's got a lot of money and I
• 5:38
  believe he said to hell with it when he realized that's what was
• 5:42
  going on back in those days he says I'm out I got all the money
• 5:47
  I need, if this is the game, y'all are going to play.
• 5:49
  I was serious you know Carlos thinking I'm gonna win this
• 5:52
  championship and then all of a sudden the Jacques debris comes
• 5:55
  out. I believe Carl Edwards left with
• 5:58
  a broken heart. Quote on quote from Kenny
• 6:02
  Wallace, I think Carl Edwards left, NASCAR with a broken
• 6:06
  heart. Now after that, this is what I
• 6:09
  think happened with NASCAR. I believe that Toyota had a
• 6:15
  sit-down meeting with NASCAR as reported by David.
• 6:23
  Bianchi juggle up on Twitter, I read the whole deal.
• 6:26
  It's there for you to read. Remember I'm just commenting on
• 6:29
  what I read. Giving my opinion, none of this
• 6:32
  is that I'm just like you. Hi Wallace.
• 6:35
  What happened to Carl Edwards? I'm telling you, what I think
• 6:39
  happened to Carl Edwards so because of that whole fake
• 6:43
  caution car wrecks, You know, he just leaves, NASCAR the broken
• 6:48
  heart, can't believe it. So now I believe the judging by
• 6:55
  the hip in NASCAR, I believe those days are over.
• 7:00
  It is true. That years ago, NASCAR did Judge
• 7:04
  by The Hip. You know, they couldn't, they
• 7:08
  didn't have all the tools in place.
• 7:10
  Like, when the caution come out, where is everybody on the
• 7:13
  racetrack? Now, they got that.
• 7:15
  They got a line underneath. Every section area of the
• 7:18
  racetrack that can they can show you a fact.
• 7:22
  Now, when you know, we look at anything Tech inspection their
• 7:28
  hands off I believe that if, if if Carl Edwards could have stuck
• 7:34
  it out another couple three years, he would be reaping the
• 7:38
  rewards from this new era in NASCAR.
• 7:41
  Now, dude doesn't ask are, you know, do they they go.
• 7:44
  Hey, let's let's push push this person.
• 7:47
  Let's push that person. Yeah, there's no doubt they do
• 7:50
  that. I mean, that's that's in any
• 7:52
  sport. But I believe that everything is
• 7:56
  on the up and up now because they can't get away because Too
• 8:00
  much technology now. So I feel bad for Carl.
• 8:04
  I believe he quit. NASCAR with a broken heart
• 8:07
  because of the fake caution. And, you know, when we look back
• 8:11
  through Sports, let me give you an example of some things that
• 8:15
  have gone bad in officiating with any sport, check this one
• 8:21
  out. So I'm a baseball fan, right?
• 8:23
  Okay. Maybe you're not, but I am.
• 8:25
  How about about four years ago when the pitcher he's Throwing a
• 8:30
  no-hitter, I mean a perfect game.
• 8:32
  Everything's going good. And there's a, you know, ball
• 8:36
  goes the shortstop guy and he throws him out at first base,
• 8:41
  it's clearly an out, but the UMP has a bad view Inigo eels.
• 8:46
  Safe. That all mistakenly but judging
• 8:53
  by The Hip ruin that man's perfect game.
• 8:58
  I mean any picture that gets a perfect game, they go down in
• 9:02
  history or any type of Statistics this hump judging by
• 9:09
  The Hip not later on. He did apologize, but it stood.
• 9:13
  So when you look at sports nowadays, they that's where the,
• 9:18
  you know, the replay comes from, you know, everything is replay
• 9:21
  now, because everything is right there.
• 9:23
  So, That's my opinion. Well, the whole Carl Edwards.
• 9:29
  Debacle, I can see the headline of this video right now.
• 9:34
  What happened to Carl Edwards? So let's summarize it.
• 9:37
  All, I believe that Carl Edwards.
• 9:42
  Quit. NASCAR with a broken heart
• 9:45
  because he realized that they were judging by The Hip.
• 9:48
  Hey, I can see, oh, Hoots up in the tower right now.
• 9:52
  David Hoots is actually a good friend of mine, he's up.
• 9:56
  And are they all talk and they go.
• 9:58
  Hey. Throw a caution.
• 10:00
  Let's gather this filled up, they forgot it was for the
• 10:04
  championship and they didn't realize that it could go, that
• 10:07
  bad not until today, did this article come back and light it
• 10:14
  up. I'm sure you're going to hear
• 10:15
  more about this but that's my opinion.
• 10:18
  Peace out. Whoo, Davey Allison baby.
