Look, smart guy, Jeff Gordon himself said in his post-race interview that he "pushed Biffle all the way down the back straightaway and into turn". So it came straight from the horse's mouth. He called it bump drafting, and that's why I did too.
You are too much like NASCAR. If you could somehow get the field 43-wide coming across the stripe, you would be happy with that. It's not possible, and they need to quit trying to do it by bunching up the field with restrictor plates. Riding around in a pack with no ability to pull away even when your car is faster is not racing. It's like tying weights on a horse's ankle to let the rest of the horses run with him. The trucks ARE more exciting TO ME and to many fans who get tired of 10-20 cars being taken out by ONE driver's mistake at these races. They can still use the slingshot move to pass and they can go by on the outside when they get a good run. Can't do that in the cars unless yo are overwhelmingly faster than the other cars.
If racing is not about speed, then why aren't they racing factory spec cars instead of souped up race cars? Racing is all about speed. If the drivers were on 10-speeds riding around the track, maybe 500 people show up to see it every week.
