he went down pit road to try to stay under control during an accident (which is legal), he just lost control coming back on the track because of the front tire problem.
Any driver that avoids a wreck by using pit road must slow down, but because of a flat right front he couldn't slow much (180 down to 160mph was all Schrader said)
Good thing he is Ken Schrader's hero (as a many time world of Outlaw champion) because he nailed Schrader when he came back up on the track.

Blaneys spotter should have warned him of the low tire.He had no controll of that car and if it was not for Schraders car Blaney could have been a statistic.
No brake problem.Just someone attempting to finish higher that he should.

Blaney had a flat left front and could turn the car. I don't think he knew that when he went back up into the track.

Blaney was penalized 5 laps, for not slowing down, then parked him for the remainder of the race.

yes his tire was flat but still he should have also slowed down alot slower going down pit road. his spotter should have told him to slow down or that he was headed back into traffic. even if the tire wouldnt have been flat he still would have had to make a good move to turn it back and keep going that fast. i dont care how much grip you have thats not easy to do while still trying to hold the speed.

if you're talking about when he goes down pit road at the 500, he had a right front tire go down, according to the announcers

It wasn't a brake problem and he should have been penalized in the race.

he had a right front tire go down...........when he entered back on the track after avoiding the wreck he had no steering because of the flat right front...........so he could not turn left back out of traffic
