I just did a test with my Penske car for 3 reasons;

1. It's the car you used

2. To help out with some data

3. I LOVE drafting in a big pack of cars!

With my Penske car at PR 58.0 my best lap was 00:42:601. I hit 345 Km on one straight riding inbetween Johnson and Logano!

You can sort of side draft in NASCAR. Of course, in real NASCAR you can. When you have a long row of cars beside you, drive as close to them as possible. In essence your are catching the draft of the car behind the car that is beside you, but it's like side drafting. Or you could call it stealing the draft. Either way, it works for me.

Also, NASCAR's are VERY forgiving for damage when compared to any other cars in RR3. I do a lot of bumping when side drafting, I often lose no speed on my speedometer. I can also exceed top speed once I get up with the top cars.

When passing cars in the inside corners, I often use the car to my right as a bit of a wall when exiting the corner. Meaning I grind the side of him just a bit. I then catch the draft off the front of him when hitting the straight.
