People are getting set up

Does this literally mean push bumper to bumper, or just to make him work for it?

Its drafting. Getting up on the lead cars bumper prevents the stream of air from closing behind him, creating a negative space. It enables the lead car to go faster. It also pulls you along behind him so both cars can effectively go faster.

It's how you see two cars bumper to bumper fly past a single car, much like what you had just need before this wreck.
