You are referring, I assume, to U.S. racing, as Europeans race clockwise (as do the Aussies I believe). I think the tradition began simply as a way of the early colonists thumbing their noses at the King, wanting to do things on the new continent differently than in England (similar to driving on the left in the USA). This is what I've read--let me know if you find a better answer! --Jeff
