Watched both wrecks and from my viewpoint..
she wasn't at fault for either of the wrecks. In the 1st one, John Wes Townley tried to pinch her down on a lapped car for some reason that I can't explain other than the fact that he is not that talented and doesn't belong in any of these bigger league series except that just about any owner out there will continue to cash his daddy's checks. No reason to do that...especially as the lead pack is working around a slower car. Usually the lead pack will calm down and work their way thru slower traffic before resuming the hard racing to avoid causing these types of things. It's called using your noggin and racing smart. Townley has proven over and over that he's incapable of doing either. The other wreck closer to being Milka's fault and she could've given the car in front of her room instead of forcing the issue. However, as you can see in the video, the cars behind her are quickly stacking up so letting off the throttle at that point could've caused the wreck anyway. I think the car that came down on her was mostly to blame on that one. Had to defend her since I feel that she's really not that bad of a driver. While her financiers have placed her in series that she probably didn't belong in way too early (she definitely didn't need to be running IndyCar), ARCA is a fine place for her. It's for developmental talents and she can fit in there just fine.
