The car used to lead the stock cars before a race is called the pace car. It's used to get the field (whole group of cars) moving so they are all even at the start of the race. If they started like Formula cars sitting still then there would rarely be any position changes due to the shape of most of the tracks. It also is used to get everyone back together after a caution or stop so the odds are fair and drivers behind a few laps can make them up.
