It's about boneheads that, from the drop of the green flag, get on the
yellow line and never, ever, even for a second, leave it for 30, 40, 50 or
whatever laps. Even on the straights!
It's frustrating, causes incidents, and is just plain pure bullshit.

agreed, if a driver is holding the inside line, then gang up on him and
draft by on the outside.

Something else I noticed. If you happen to be in the high line in a turn
when the inevitable open race mayhem ensues, it is damn near impossible to
find a hole to get through. Nope. You're gonna be ridin' that 180 mph
merry-go-round, no doubt about it.

I just recently purchased the game, so I don't have a lot of experience with
it, but if these cars are hugging the line exiting a turn, wouldn't it be
possible to pass them with a "free-er" car...drifting up the track - holding
more momentum - more speed? Can they possibly hold as much speed while
pinching it exiting the turn? If so, I would say that the track modeling
isn't quite right. (given the cars were equal)

Thank you. As I said before, I *know* cars can pass on the outside. It cost
me a win a couple weeks ago... :(

We are talking about situations where the person does it THE WHOLE RACE.

I don't see why people are up in arms about this. If someone holding
the low line causes an accident, it's the fault of the people behind
him. Same thing if someone holds the ideal line at Bristol, Dover,
Darlington, Texas, Atlanta, Watkins Glen, etc.
