Why don't Sprint Cars have starters?

[RobertN]

Went to Placerville Speedway(N. Calif) for races last night; great dirt racing action! I love racing, but don't make it to the track very often.

The Sprint cars are awesome to watch, when they are running... The A-Main was great racing.

So, in 2017 with high power gel cell batteries and mini high torque starters, why don't Sprint Cars have starters?

From:
Sprint car racing - Wikipedia

Sprint cars do not utilize a transmission, they have an in or out gear box and quick change rear differentials for occasional gearing changes. As a result, they do not have electric starters (or even electrical systems other than magneto / ignition) and require a push to start them.
