he was catching back up the pace car. Sounds like something broke on the car causing him to lose control

JPM said he had "huge vibrations" in every gear. Then all of a sudden you can see the tires lock up, so I'm voting that the tranny grenaded itself.

Not that i'm one to defend Danicrash, but in this video, it's quite obvious the front takes off with massive understeer.It's not like she turned it into the wall.
I don't see what this has to do with dumb error crashes.

She got up in the grey...wasn't anything "Dumb"
Now when Mario ran into a car that had been parked for laps...that was dumb.
