If I'm not mistaken, the F1 did race at Indianapolis under the rain. Of course, the entering speed at oval turn 1 was lower than those of IndyCar and Nascar Cup. I guess that Nationwide or Indy Lights cars could run on wet Milwaukee, New Hampshire and Martinsville without too much trouble.

That's true, but oval racing isn't a worldwide sport as formula racing or motorcycle road racing. And you can't compare the difference between Bristol and Indianapolis with the difference between Finnish gravel-surfaced mid-turn jumps and French Alps icey downhill hairpins.
