DannoXYZ's above post is the main reason, traction concerns and general debris on surface.

They come off, fall to the track surface, a hot, sticky tire picks them up and it becomes a high speed projectile. Been hit by a few of them over the years, mostly no big deal overall. They do chip paint and can sting your fingers a bit while at track speeds.
