The heater core is heated by the same coolant from the engine which is too hot at the time after racing no?
Using the HVAC to draw heat off the hot coolant (heat goes from coolant to the air which goes into cabin) and thus results in cooler (not cold but cooler) coolant back to the reservoir which can then be accessed by the engine to cool itself.
In the end, the key thing is that we are trying to find a venue to dump heat - the heater core is one way (albeit small) to dump that heat into the cabin air.
The car doesn't magically generate heat from nothing.
