It doesn't feel quite as weird if you frame it as
>It's traditional for the winning racers to give a short performance and speech after accepting their award
And then how that plays out ranges from the more informal performances like we see in Oguri Cap's small town races to the much larger productions at G1 events.
As for how it came about? Probably just as some progression of some older tradition and now its just ingrained into the culture so they keep on doing it because its expected and people like it.
