In real NASCAR 2015 to present, they changed the bumpers on the cars so that they don't line up very well anymore. If you do old school "bump drafting" now it can easily pit the car in front. In the Daytona 500 on the weekend, drivers were going squirrelly and wrecking just when cars got really close behind them. You come up behind a guy and you take the air off his spoiler making his back end loose. It's actually pretty accurate.

In the game, they only go that squirrelly when you get too close too fast. You are literally over powering them and wrecking them. I switch view so I can better judge the distance, then just tap my brakes to back off the guy enough so I don't hit him.
