Nitrogen exhibits less pressure change with temperature than air does (exactly why this is is due to a number of factors, but why is less important here than the fact itself).
Racing teams often 'tweak' tire pressure by very small amounts, so having it stay where they put it is a significant advantage.
Race car tires also get hot. Like, really hot. Oxygen at high temperatures is corrosive (it's corrosive at lower temperatures too, but heating it up kicks the corrosion into high gear). So: severely punishing the tires, larger pressure changes, and having them filled with a substance that's both corrosive AND supports combustion all add up to "bad idea".

What gas is used in tires?
Normally tyres are inflated with compressed air, sometimes they are inflated with an inert gas called nitrogen.airoxygenSome people are advocating the use of Nitrogen (N2) in tires to reduce their exposure to Oxygen which degrades the rubber. The use of Nitrogen also eliminates moisture content that is always present in air.air Nitrogen is becoming popular for use in car tires.
