Nitrogen is the gas of choice for tires. Nitrogen has about 5 parts per million (ppm) of water where as compressed air has about 500 ppm. This allows for a more predictable tire pressure change during a heat cycle.

That depends on the type of race you're talking about; nascar, dragcar, an Indy, off road, etc....... But for the most part, they all have one thing in commen, a high octane. Higher octane means, burns fast, better, and is better for you car. (the only racing car they might not use high octane fuel with might be off road racing, but I'm not sure)
