because it celebrates the single most important human invention which is the automobile. athletics are a scam. in nature you will find animals that run faster, jump Higher, etc. than us but humans are the only ones creating cars. If you think about it, cars are the one rhing that truly makes us human.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_driver

>A pay driver is a driver for a professional auto racing team who, instead of being paid by the owner of their car, drives for free and brings with them either personal sponsorship or personal or family funding to finance the team's operations. This may be done to gain on-track experience or to live the lifestyle of a driver in a particular series when one's talent or credentials do not merit a paying ride. Alternatively, said person is also called a ride buyer or a rich kid in the United States, a gentleman driver in sports car and GT racing and a privateer in Australia.

I don't think there are any other sports where this happens.
