Best Answer

NASCAR tires do not have tread because the cars do not drive on a wet surface. Tread helps channel water away from the surface of the point where the rubber meets the road. Since NASCAR does not race in the rain, a smooth tire gives more surface for the tire for the most traction and speed.
