Wrecks are what allow position changes? Clearly you’re not paying attention to the races.
Superspeedway races can have dozens of leader changes, let alone the absolute shitshow of position jockeying that is pack racing. There are hundreds of position changes per race on the big tracks. They’re the only tracks where an absolute random underdog has a high chance of winning. Drivers can go from last to first multiple times if they’re running well.
People talk shit about NASCAR all the time and their talking points are always based in ignorant assumptions. Its highly competitive contact racing with just as much attention to physics and engineering as any other series. They just don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars per team and have to run the same aero package as everyone else.
Its one of the most exciting series to watch. I’m saying this as a big fan of euro racing.
I’m not watching the races anymore. I was into it 90s-2000s, but then it started to become less of the old type racing. The superspeedways had a reputation then for being set positions if nothing happened, simply because you can’t stay topped out when you break draft to try and pass. Maybe some of that has changed with the new racing format that separates it into several miniraces.
Not talking shit, just years of experience watching the races back then. The NASCAR rules may have changed, but the physics of high speed aerodynamics haven’t.
Nah, that was a boring race. We’re all here for the wrecks and spinouts that allow some positioning changes.

The aerodynamics of the car have changed significantly, though. Pack racing is very different now to what it was back then.
I was also watching in the 90s and 2000s.
