Not all tracks are counter clockwise, but every NASCAR oval track has only left turns, because the drivers sit on that side of the car. The drivers generally try to keep to the inside of the track (because it is a shorter distance around the track) So by making all left turns, the drivers can better see what is going on around them. It is for safety reasons also; it keeps the driver away from the out side wall (guardrail in the old days).
In Australia, where they have a very active and popular oval track racing industry, the cars turn RIGHT, not left. This has to do with the fact that in that country the driver sits on the right side of the car, not the left as in the USA.
Despite some claims, it has nothing to do with centrifugal forces. Some link the direction the cars follow on track to the spin of water going down a drain- supposedly, the spin of water in a drain is dictated by the earth's rotation and varies depending upon the hemisphere, north or south. The entire drain theory, however, is a myth; the earth's rotation and being in a certain hemisphere has no bearing on either water in a drain nor the forces exerted on cars on a track.

Melbourne (where they race left-handed, or counter-clockwise)Why does some states race clock-wise and other states race counter-clockwise? I was once told that it may go back to the goldrush when Americans came here. Americans run their horses in the opposite direction to the English and some states stayed with the English way and some like Victoria where there were a lot of American miners adopted the American way. Not sure if it is true or not but at least it seems plausible.
