Actually, those stripes were used for identification by REAL race teams. When a team had more than one car entered in a race, and they were all painted in the team colors, crew members and/or spotters needed a quick way to identify the different team cars while at speed. The colored "hash marks" seemed to be the accepted way to go.
As NoFiveo said, on the street, they're just for decoration.
