interesting , I would assume most modern day track cars "NASCAR Can Am formula 1"would have power brakes ?

I'm sure it's what you're used to, I never owned a vehicle without power brakes that I can remember.

Power brakes can be overly sensitive and difficult to modulate. Manual brakes allow for gradual application to scrub off a little speed without upsetting the car in a corner on the track.
Personally I prefer manual brakes.

Neither NASCAR nor F1 have power brakes.

For a street car, I could live with power brakes, but not on a track car.

I would not have a track car without power steering though... probably prefer it for a street car as well.

Wow. I never would have guessed but that's spot on: Formula 1® - The Official F1® Website

Mine has manual brakes with racing pads. I ALWAYS remember to drag them first half block out of my driveway to warm them up.
It was scared into me after I went thru the first stop sign.
Then they re good.

Yup, done that! Learned that one same way. Gotta "feather" these cars until the tires and brakes are warmed up.

Power what? You are supposed to be the power in these cars, not some assistant!
