UPDATE: Roush Racing announced today that Carl Edwards recognizes and accepts NASCAR’s penalty and will not appeal. I put everything I can into winning races, stated Edwards. I was wrecked and I reacted. It was wrong on my part. NASCAR penalized me and I respect that. Most importantly I apologize if I upset any of my fans or sponsors.(Roush Racing PR)(8-22-2006)
