When you are on the track (the kind that have corners) sometimes you can be using all three pedals at once. Since most people have two feet, your feet have to be pretty nimble around the pedals to manage all three pedals (i.e. heel and toe downshifting, left foot braking, etc.) You wouldn't want to be wearing any clunky soled shoes while on the track. I have flubbed a few heel and toe downshifts due clunky soled shoes.
