If you hit packages less than 20 consistently (dial a .90x and hit the tree with something less than 0.010), you'll win a lot of super class races. The rest of us are human. We dial a bit fast (say a .88) and get off the gas or on the brakes at the finish to take the stripe just by a little bit, hoping to scrub off the .02 we need to hit it perfectly. And if not, he broke out more, and you still win.

The idea of being able to see them ahead of you is to judge the stripe. Hard to do that when you're the slower car and they're coming up from behind you.
