Water condenses in the exhaust from the combustion process (water is a byproduct of combustion), as well as water vapor entering from the ambient air due to temperature and pressure changes, etc. In a boxer engine the exhaust manifolds are a low point, as opposed to normal engines where the manifolds are higher than most of the exhaust system. Therefore even in a stock car, water is bound to gather in some quantity in the manifolds. If the manifold gaskets aren't sealing properly, this can leak out.
