one word answer... DEPENDS.
It is true, not nice to chat about but true. They often get a couple of IV fluids and they are always drinking, and still can lose 10lb of fluids in a race. I saw one race that Tony Stewart won but could not go to the winners circle, he had such a bad stomach bug he had to run straight back to his trailer for a new suit. Gross huh??

Well, I've been a go-kart driver since I was 6 yrs. old and I'm 13 now and I race for 30 min. long and I usually don't think about going to the restroom I think about passing the person in front of me or concentrate on going 90 mph. But, anyway I go before I get on the track.

One of the last drivers to attempt a solo run at the 24 Hours of LeMans (his name escapes me) had the following succinct answer when someone posed that question to him: Green overalls, old boy.

Ummmm..... from what I've heard, they do it in their pants + also go as many times as they can before the start 'cos having a full bladder can cause serious medical problems if they have a big shunt.

with the heat in those cars, they sweat out all that they drink during a race, besides they are so conditioned to it, they can go forever

My guess would be that they either hook up a cafider, don't drink much liquid for a long time before, or just go in their pants as cyclists do

Usually it is so hot that you sweat it out, but if you really got to go right there in your driving suit.
