KDB's Tires Sabotage ?

When it is just one car it probably isn't the tires. If it isn't the car setup then the driver might have something to do with it. It could be from rubbing another car.

it could be the taildragger design is really sensitive and/ or of a design where more load can be applied to the left rear. Johnson had a left rear blow out also in the duels. It might not turn up the rest of the year, sure, there will be plenty of right sides going down, and it could be nothing with the lefts, but every time Nascar makes a change, the crew chiefs don't sit on their hands.
 
What got my attention as strange was that Kyle's tire problems were on the left rear. Correct me if I am wrong, but it is usually the right front or the right rear tire that blows when a tire is "overworked". D.W. filled in part of the mystery when he said the same thing happened to Johnson's car in the duals. It is something for me to keep track of at any rate. See if it happens at the buck n a halfs, or is isolated to plate tracks or specifically only happens at Daytona. It could be new to the tail draggers. I'm probably putting everybody to sleep, but I did learn new things with this discussion and something new to keep track of this season. That's the deal for me, some see cars going around and around, some of us like the nuts and bolts of it.

I am thinking it happened because they have the right rear lower out of the air which is the opposite of normal where the right rear is the drive off tire.
