I don't think just because there's more passing automatically means more crashes. If anything the faster cars would take it easy on the first lap (when most incidents occur) knowing they have the speed to overtake once all the craziness is over.
All that means wasting the first few laps in a 1/3 race that only gives points up to the 8th place. The only way for the 20th to get to the points is to full throttle from the get go.
