Too Afraid to Ask

Drafting helps cars go faster by following closely behind another car, which cuts down on wind resistance. It's a common strategy in racing to gain speed.

Drafting is a technique used in racing where a car closely follows another to reduce air resistance, allowing both cars to go faster. This is especially important in high-speed tracks like Daytona.
