Powerglide for racecars

Can anyone explain to me why powerglide, or 2 speed, transmissions are so popular in the racing world? Can you support your statement with graphs or numerical data?

this is just an assumption on my part. Because they've been around a very long time and they're simple,the rebuilders have had the time to find out what aftermarket parts will hold up to the stress of racing.
