Is it me or has been Denny Hamlin become the blame the car man? I hate to hear when a driver who is competitive blames his car for the shortcoming. Dude your team worked their tales off all weekend and got you a top five finish. You just did not have the HP Johnson had to hold him off so quit crying.

Best part of the race is seeing Kyle Bushog hit the wall twice...

She didn't have a bad setup on her car. She was using the brakes too aggressively. The rotor heat transferred to the hub, which then heats up the wheel. The excessive wheel heat increases the tire temperature...which eventually blows. Other than Newman, none of the NASCAR veterans had their right front tire blow. Managing your brakes at certain tracks is something drivers learn over time.

The reason she had to use the brakes excessively is BECAUSE of the bad setup. Newman and her both probably had the same setup going into the race and he blew 2 tires. It's pretty common knowledge.
Anyway Ken Shrader also had a right front tire blow, and he has been driving every kind of race car since the 70's.
