Which is deliberate contact, made with intent. As such, clearly against the rules. Saying "they all do it" is not a good argument. I think it is incorrect anyway.
Yes, in touring cars there is always the chance of an element of contact while in the act of passing - "rubbing doorhandles" if you like, but that's not going to end the race for one of the drivers. A deliberate boot up the rear quarter to get someone out of the way is not good racing.
It's perfectly possible to have exciting racing without resorting to NASCAR tactics.
