For the same reason Track Runners, Horse Racers, and Baseball Runners run counter clockwise

Very exciting race. Of course I was rooting for Tony Stewart, as I always do. 3rd place finish not bad at all considering all the wrecks.

Why we go counter clockwise
For the same reason we sit on the left to drive and across the pond they sit on the right. Started way back with horse racing did not want to be like the English!!!
