In sports balance and stability are used to increase performance of the athlete or the athletes equipment. In Racecar driving, balance is used to stabalize the racecar. The wheels are wide and extrude from the base of the car. This gives the car a wider support base which increases the stability. The race cars are flat and low to the ground. This moves the center of gravity lower which also increases the stability of the car.

In foot ball you need to keep your balance while your running so that you can resist a tackle. Foot ball players do this by crouching down and keeping their center of mass over their feet which is there support base.
