Can anyone explain to me traffic in nascar?

May be...

in traffic means being around other cars

It's pretty much like traffic on the interstate, except it's going a little faster.

It's all in the aerodynamics. This car in combination with the not-so-good tires make for a much different experience in the driver's seat. Everybody has to develop new skills in order to be competitive. I think that's why we see some typically great drivers like Jeff Gordon not thriving this year. It is making some great racing, in my opinion.

If you haven`t figured it out yet you never will.

the reason the car of tomorrow is "bad in traffic" is because of the way the body of the car is now made. the downforce from the front and rear bumpers causes slower speeds and makes the cars run naturally closer together. when they are all bunched, the air intake into the car is very limited because of the wind being cut into by cars in front of them. this can cause cars to overheat and not run as well as the car would if they were all alone or only had one or two cars around them. nascar cars always have run bad in traffic just because you have really no wiggle room so you have to be pin point with where you go on the track, and that always causes the car to under-perform.

hope that helps

are you asking why the cars are so close at one point or another? if so during a caution and at the begining of the race the cars ahve to line up and go a certain speed so when they start again everyone goes at once...it breaks up but it take a few secs. hope i helped

Most usually they are referring to slower--Lapped Cars as the Leader is coming through the Field putting them another lap down!!!!!!!!

If you are not leading, you are driving in traffic. Even leaders get caught in traffic when they begin to lap cars. The only way not to be in traffic is to have a nice, clear track ahead of you.

Imagine going 100+ miles per hour with just a few inches clearance between you, the driver ahead, the driver behind, and the 2 drivers on either side of you. One little mistake or poor reaction time and you are in a crash.

Traffic in NASCAR is the regular flow of the cars around the track.

pretty much like driving on the freeways, interstates, toll roads etc

Being bad in traffic means having cars near you, front, rear or to the side disrupts the handling of the car.

This happens because the cars make turbulence in the air as they pass through it and this turbulent air does not give a predictable amount of down force. The down force can be less than expected making the car loose or tight depending on where the traffic is.
