For the most part, round track racers are best friends until the green flag drops- - - - - -we even help each other build engines sometimes, or share spare parts with a competitor to get him back on the track after a pileup.
When I raced at the Merced County Fairgrounds dirt track in California, the top driver there had a slogan painted on the back of his car:
"WHEN THE GREEN FLAG DROPS THE BS STOPS!"
LOL!
