After watching a number of condensed races from last season on NASCAR.com, I heard the annoncers say a driver made the guy in front of him 'get loose'. I thought a car being loose or tight was a technical thing and not something another driver could affect? How would it be possible for one driver to make another driver loose?! Any help is much appreciated!

one driver gets so close to the car in front of him it takes the air off of the rear spoiler of the car in front so he has no grip with the rear tires which in turn makes the car in front "loose".But now with the rear wings on the new cars instead of spoilers I think we will see less of that.

It is a shame that we can't watch whole races, but the 'Race Rewind' and 'Post Race Show' they have on NASCAR.com are always enjoyable to watch and you still get a good feel for how that race went. SI.com also has some very enjoyable and informative articles throughout the year; so it's not all bad!!
