Didn't read the article yet, but I think that's why there is a lot of strategy in drafting. Too much being in the draft, and you risk overheating the engine. There's a ton of strategy in NASCAR that isn't readily apparent. I wish there was an alternate audio channel that focuses on the science/strategy of racing rather than the mostly "hype" chatter. Maybe even mic up the team engineers.
