It has to do with the construction of the tire. When the tire is crushed like it is in tractor pulls, the tire tread should be flat to allow for better traction. With air only the tire won't have the same amount of weight on the center portion of the tread because the tire will tend to cup up just a little bit causing some traction to be lost in the center of the tire. Fluid puts the weight on that center portion, however little it is, which can make a difference because the cupping is reduced and more traed is on the ground.
