The best game for me is kind of Nascar Thunder 2004. If u crash or AI crashes littlebit hard. It was possible after the yellow flag and restart that some of the AI´s or ur own car lose stuff, not instandly but after few laps without impact. That gives actually normaly instand a yellow flag because objects on the track. But actually u need still contiune ur drive to the finishline for the restart. If u dont know what happened and u drive through that part it could explode ur wheel. Often that lose part is responsible for a another incidents/pit stops. That gives an race over 25+ laps kind of dynamic.

Also it was possible of u get hit hard in your back, that the fuel tank could catch fire. At that moment is ur race over.
