Not much, most races are run with Alaskan huskies or Siberian huskies because those dogs are faster.
No, Malamuyes were (historically) bred to pull heavyloads, not to run fast. Siberian Huskies are better suited for the Iditarod race.
how many veterans signed up for the 2011 iditarod race
Generally no, Alaskan Malamutes are rarely, if ever, used in the Iditarod. This is because Iditarod racers breed their own variety of crossbred dogs that perform better in the endurance-testing race. Purebred Alaskan Malamutes are too heavy and prone to inherited illness to be used, although theoretically they could be used. The more experienced racers use a mixture of Labrador, Lurcher and Husky dogs to pull their sleds.

Well, from the resources I looked in, it looked like Huskies are the most popular. They also use Malamutes or Mixed Breeds.
Matt Giblin was in the Iditarod in 1998 and is in the 2011 race..
