you can never hear the name of the driver (let alone the sponsorship list) during time trials, as the next car comes out and lets rip before the last car has left the track. even if there should be a break in between, most track announcers are too busy talking about some silliness rather than utilizing the time to advise who is up next; so that is a rather moot point in favor of time trialing i'd say.

as far as new track records go/ I suppose there are some tracks where you still get them, but over the years, there's been a lot of effort spent in slowing the cars down and in filling in the bottoms of high-banked dirt tracks to lessen the degree of banking in order to slow them down too
