So, 2 blown engines and a blown tire were his fault?

you see him after he climbed out of the car after doing his qualifying laps,
only two laps. This guy was winded, jittery, and looked completely wiped
out.

You obviously haven't seen too many drivers interviewed right after
taking 2 qualifying laps at Atlanta.

Clearly. It was bad in the old days. Now the surface is similar to
Darlington/Rockingham of old and the tires are hard and slick as ever.
I'd bet the term "harrowing" comes to mind when it comes to lapping
Atlanta in Q today.

I was on the road while part of Q was going on...was listening on
Sirius 128 (NASCAR Channel) when they interviewed Jamie McMurray after
his Q run, the interviewer commented on how bad his "hands were still
shaking"...And how old and decrepit is he? We're obviously dealing
with a trolling and/or noob fan here.

I remember years ago at Indy when someone asked Bobby Rahal is quitting
smoking had helped his driving any. Bobby said,"Yeah, now I can hold my
breath for all four laps!"
