Usually these kinds of stunts are done by some trained stunt men (dupe for the hero), they wear protective gear like lunatic vests. Mostly, you can see car drag scenes on a flat surface, off-road (where the friction is gonna' be less compared to rubberised roads) as it can be easiy performed with necessary protective gear and by a trained stunt man. But when it comes to on-road, they get the help of Computer Graphics.
