some of what you said is true, and she's smart enough to know that by creating tv she was helping to publicize the story that "she got taken out". On the other hand, you weren't watching the same race I was if you honestly think she would have finished as low as 10th. Her car was finally running well by that last pit (7th at the time) and would likely have finished ahead of Carpenter, Mutoh, RHR, etc. she just had the faster car. So I would say that she probably missed out on a top 5 or 6. You really weren't watching the race if you think she was going to finish any lower than that. At no point was she running behind Mutoh and he finished 7th or 8th.
