I tested this somewhat on Stage 2 last night and it appears they did indeed update the algorithm such that the bots are much harder to spin out and they do not appear to be able to be disabled any longer.

I wasn't driving the opposite direction and going for maximum destruction, but I did spin out a lot of cars and cause a lot of accidents and I never once saw a disabled cars off to the side or on the track during the 15 lap race in Stage 2.4.

Perhaps it's still possible in the other NASCAR races, but for this special event, I didn't see that being the case. This is a bit disconcerting considering that the only way I was able to win the final race last time was by purposely disabling the other bots. Sounds like I'll need to work a little harder on bot management this time around :-(
