NASCAR using debris cautions to mask horrible racing?

UPDATE A reader writes, I was at the NASCAR race at Chicagoland Speedway last Saturday night. The debris cautions were unnecessary and were obviously staged to artificially create close racing for a few laps. Between bogus debris cautions and entrants that start and park, how can NASCAR Sprint Cup be considered a major league racing series? Mike Jablo
