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.

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.
