I guess its common amongst carpet racers to drive like that. I went to cleveland this year and noticed the same style of driving. Its like full contact racing out there. If your faster then they are in qualifying they wont move over out of curtasy and if you make a great pass forget about it because at the next corner they wont check up they way keep the hammer full noodle and drive through you. Also if you are a tad bit slower in one corner then they are you wont have time to move they will rather take you out. They need to start asessing penalties at these big races because sooner or later we'll be running plows for bumpers to scoop people out of the way.!
