Actually, upon looking at the statement, "temperature changes will affect nitrogen the same" that's not true. Being more inert (less water content) than compressed air, a nitrogen filled tire will not be nearly as affected by temperature variations as a compressed air filled tire. Thus, it's safer, easier to control for racing conditions (one less variable to worry about), etc. Used by airlines and NASCAR for the two reasons cited above, and the list goes on, check Google.
