From what I read, she made a couple of rookie mistakes and might have won it if she hadn't made them. She stalled the car on a pit stop and she also got sideways and wrecked the car. Her crew also had her low on fuel at the end and she had to back off on the last 10 laps. If I were her I would have gambled and if I ran out of fuel so be it. The guy who won ran out of fuel on his cool down lap. Sometimes you just have to roll the dice.
With all that said, I think she is a pretty good driver and will do just fine over time. Like any other rookie, nothing can replace experience.
