those wagons also had roof racks so you could put more weight on top for more traction

In stock form the 4 doors and wagons weigh more. Before mods ("Swiss cheese" techniques for example) purely from a power-to-weight perspective they would have a disadvantage in a race.
Example:
1962 Dart 330 V8
2dr sedan 3135 lbs
4dr sedan 3170 lbs
2dr HT     3155 lbs
4dr wagon 3435 lbs (6 pass)
4dr wagon 3500 lbs (9 pass)

But with mods the weight is not as big a deal, see
