LOL I just saw it and came here to post it.

I guess throwing out roll bar padding is bigger than intentionally crashing into someone going full speed during a caution. [Carl Edwards]

I could tell Crash was lying, he should stick to the truth because his face/eyes give him away. I don't condone what he did because it definitely hurt Jeff Burton, but Nascar does need to be more fair and equitable in their penalty handouts.
