Most spins I've seen are caused from corner exit acceleration on cold tires... as in, powering over. So a fwd wouldn't have those problems.

In practice, FWD is very competitive in track racing, and it seems that this advantage is only significant when dealing with high HP and inadequate tires.
Each choice has it's ups and downs. However, FWD shouldn't just be dismissed as blatantly inferior, especially in the real world.
