She's still 26th in points and the reason for her 12th place finish was due to attrition, not any great driving skills. She did manage to keep her car together and virtually intact so she spent no time in the pits other than to fuel and change tires, that right there was her advantage at this short track, not superior driving skills. It's pretty easy to gain positions when you pass while the other cars are in the pits. This is contrary to her usual finish that she comes in on the hook, or spends the lap after lap n the pits repairing damage caused by inexperience and lack of natural talent. She has not shown me anything great as of yet, and I doubt she'll show me anything in the future.
Her Fox fan club especially DW repeatedly commented on how she kept out of trouble and her car showed little of the usual short track wear. She can be given credit for that, however staying out of trouble and inheriting positions due to attrition does not showcase any real driving skills.
She still has no talent advantage over her peers, but she does have a huge sponsor and the best equipment and crew money can buy.
If she ever shows any exceptional driving talent I'll admit it, so far mediocre talent is all I've seen.
