Nascar and "Bump Drafting"

Well it's all over the news today as the cause of the 25 car pile up this weekend. I just saw highlights and wow that was a mess. ESPN did a nice breakdown of "bump drafting" and what kind of effect it has. Some think it shodl be banned, other think it's just part of racing.

What do some of you nascar fans think about it and how it effected the race this weekend by whiping out half the field.

For those who don't know what bump drafting is... It's when a car A is being followed by car B so close and then sind car A is ending up with more wind resisance and car B can go faster by drafting. The bump drafting is when car B bumps car A and uses it's own energy to allow car A to go just a bit fast. They essentally work as a team.
