During the Space Race era, countries like the United States and the Soviet Union were the major competitors racing into space to achieve milestones in space exploration including launching satellites, sending humans to space, and landing on the moon.

It really had nothing to do with the moon or exploration at the very heart. At the time the US and the USSR were embroiled in the cold war,with each side trying to prove that their technology and missiles were superior. The result of this "competition" eventually became a race to the moon. So as a direct answer, they were racing in order to prove which side had the best technology/military.
Racing can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was used as a test of speed and endurance for horses or other animals. Chariot racing was popular in ancient Greece and Rome, while horse racing dates back to the 12th century in England. Over time, racing evolved into a competitive sport involving various vehicles and animals, with modern motorsports emerging in the early 20th century.
