Actually, I know of only two tracks that you run flatout, and even then, they may be using the brakes, while holding the throttle wide open. The car getting upset from engine braking when lifting off the right foot on a super speed way is all it takes to lose it, brakes are more controllable.

Outside of Talledega and Daytona, they are a long ways from running flat out.
