Drifting's original purpose was to take a corner maintaining high speed so you can exit at a high speed so technically faster lap times because you dont need to slow down into a turn and accelerate out of it.
to my understanding nascar is just a giant oval track so there isnt a need for drifting becasue there are no real corners.
F1 doesnt need to drift because their traction and acceleration is so fast theres just no real need to drift a corner
