Q: I understand that in NASCAR you have teammates. However, I don't quite understand what people mean when they say that "Car #2 was pushed by Car #5, a teammate?" Does that make sense? I hope so.
A: Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. But if it's during a race then the #5 car put his front bumper against the rear bumper of the #2 and pushed him down the track increasing the speed of both cars. You do not want to do that in the corners though. Ideally, team mates help each other this way. Hope this answers your question. Peace.
