DEI37, I know you are a big NASCAR fan, which is fine, but I need to let you in on a little secret; the cars finish so close to each other because of all of the cautions and yellow flags. These lump the drivers together. This is so everyone can finish together because the sponsors won't support if they cannot get their names on tv. So the cars have to be lumped together.
Nascar can be sloppy and let the cars touch, because if open-wheel cars touch wheels, all hell breaks loose. It takes a lot more balls to drive six inches away from each other, than for nascar drivers to bump each other.
And please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Earnhardt die trying to block someone else from getting past his teammate?
Most people and drivers agree that what happened to Barichello vs Schumacher was absolutely ridiculous.
Also, I watched in car footage once of a formula 1 race, and the distance the cars followed each other was amazing. They brake much harder than Nascar can ever dream of, and they brake HARD. These cars would dive into corners, the lead car would hit the brakes, and before you could anticipate it sitting on the couch, the other driver would be on the brakes. It was amazing and it scared the shit out of me. These guys reflexes are incredible.
