NASCAR not so nice to Edwards

The heavy hand of NASCAR has come down hard on Carl Edwards. He and car owner Jack Rousch are each fined 100 driver and owner points, respectively, for what NASCAR deems as "actions detrimental to stock car racing". Edwards's Ford Fusion failed post race inspection following Sunday's Sprint Cup UAW-Dodge 400 in Las Vegas, because the cap to the oil reserve was not fastened securely. According to NASCAR, this gives the car an aerodynamic advantage. Many experts are now speaking out saying the advantage is so minimal and the risk the to the driver so great, chances are this was unintentional. In addition to the 100 point penalty, Edwards looses the 10 bonus points he would have received for the win if he makes the Chase at the end of the season. Not to mention crew chief Bob Osborne is suspended for six races and fined $100,000. The point deduction sends Edwards from first to seventh, 79 points behind Kyle Busch. So, is NASCAR being fair when it's doling out these penalties? Five Nationwide teams were busted for the same infraction at Daytona and only penalized 25 driver points! Why is Edwards getting hit with the 100 point deduction for the same infraction? Edwards has the right to appeal, and if successful, it could prove to be his biggest win of the year.
