It depends. A lot of support cards give stats based on races and races give skill points which you never get enough by running race goals. Basically if you have a pimped out deck which maxes speed and stamina for the distance it's better to just run races to unlock good skills for which you've designed your parents/deck around. Of course you always need a certain level of fandom to level up your ultimate and to get better sparks but if you lack stamina or speed it might be better to just level up those or to take a rest in order to catch a rainbow next turn.

Basically racing is about optimising already optimised umas. Pic rel is straight up skill inheritance for a front runner, I need a lot of skillpoints just for these skills + golden recovery stuff
