Yeah, but that would be boring. Plus, you have to think about it. These guys cannot see out the right side of the car. They have to rely on their spotters to guide them up the track. If I see a driver hit someone on the right, I figure that either their spotter did not do their job, or the driver to the right of the car checked up on the guy next to him and got hit. Also, think about the near misses you have have had on the freeway only going 60 - 80 MPH. These guys are doing better than 150 on turns at most tracks, and close to if not up to 200 on the straights. At that speed, racing only inches behind the guy in front of you, there is really no room for error. If for some reason the driver in front gets off the gas even a little, that is going to result in getting bumped and getting you loose, and if you are approaching the turn, you are going to go into the wall. Kyle Bush cause the accident on the last lap by sending his car from the bottom of the track up to the top. You cannot do that on the last lap when every driver has the pedal to the metal. You are asking for trouble and he got it. And ended up taking out several cars in the process. Sure "Rubbin' is Racin'", but come on, you cannot call that Kurt did racing. He was being stupid. And blocking is part of the strategy. A lot of team mates will help each other out for various reasons. Greg Biffle helped out Matt Kenseth in one race last year. He stayed on his ass blocking other drivers till the end and basically pushed him to a finish. They do it in the truck series, the Bush series, F1 racing, ARCA and a lot of others. They are using Strategery.
