Default rain tires

If NASCAR brings rain tires why don't they use them.
Are they no good meaning that Goodyear cannot make a racing rain tire?
If not then a good reason not to by goodyear tires for my car. Then why
not use a tire company that can make rain tires like they do in F1 and
Champ car.
Or is becouse the oval track Taxi drivers are not real race car drivers
but only can turn left or drive in ideal conditions under sunny skies
and no rain.
Real racers can drive in all conditions and can turn to the right.

I guess maybe the question really was,
If all that crap is true, then why do they continue to bring cars
with rain tires and wipers... If they aren't going to use them?

Who wants to sit in the stands in the rain and watch a group of cars running
slowly?
