I was just wondering if that's a serious tactic in NASCAR? (dropping back in the pack)

I would have thought that is more likely to make you a victim of the big one that help you avoid it - more cars in front of you = more likely the accident is in front of you = more likely you get caught up in said accident.

I can't imagine Hamilton/Vettel/Alonso "dropping back" just in case there's an accident. They'd want to be at the front so that it's all happening behind them!

Still, Chip does end up slightly better than Eric - who (according to his storylines) regularly screws up the car setup so that any previous gains are lost.
