^ You touched a nerve there, Purist. Point racing hurts the races.
I think much of the "boring" racing is due to worries about points risks. And the media doesn't help as they tend to focus too much on the Championship and less on each individual race. The Chase further compounds the issue, as people start worrying about points in July and August rather than October and November. When focusing on potential point loss, drivers make less risks, resulting in more following and less passing.
Seeing as Bristol and Richmond wrap up the regular season, the focus on "making the Chase" has taken most of the bump n run type action away, and some fans with it.
