You didn't tell us what lens you are using, as far as f-stop goes. The best thing you can do for shooting fast moving objects is to get a fast lens. What you need is a 300mm f2.0 or 400mm f2.0 lens. I don't remember who said to shoot at f8, but that is just wrong for something like sports shooting, especially something moving as fast as a race car.
Going from f8 to f2 is more than three stops faster with regard to light, so the images would be much brighter. If you didn't need that much you should still go full open because shooting something moving this fast requires as fast a shutter speed possible. Not just for the movement of the car, but the movement introduced into a 300mm lens.
Shooting in raw can help a little, but don't use that as an excuse to not learn how to shoot. Go down to a camera shop and buy yourself a good light meter that has a spot meter. I use a sekonic 558R. A good light meter is indespensible in photography. chimping to the LCD is not a substitute for a good meter.
