This guy was no different, but my only concern was, if I needed to stop quickly, I'd have to hire someone to extract him from my tail pipe.
Now I know that I'm assuming that he was trying to "race" me, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about what was going on in his mind.

Since he is behind you (assuming he cannot pass you legally) how can he possibly "race" you?
How can you be sure of anything that is "going on in his mind"?
Just as it takes two to argue, it takes two to create a race. By your admission it seems that scenario is what was on your mind, but not necessarily on the other driver's...
And besides, why do you care about what other people think?
