Tow hooks are generally mandated on actual race cars, allowing for sweep to drag the car back to wherever if it should wreck or die. I can tell you that those hooks are there to make it quick and easy to tow the car, not tow other cars (although some might use them as such at the track once in a while).
Typically, though, a tow hook on the rear is there for when the front end has been stuffed into a ditch or something, requiring extraction from the rear. I can picture that on a rally car, but not so much on your run of the mill Hondah.
Then again...
EDIT: Thread salvation in the form of real race car, currently for sale, ($14K, comes with lots of mods, more spares than you can imagine, FUCKING EXCEPTIONAL DEAL ON A FUCKING EXCEPTIONAL CAR). Notice the tow hook on the front. Also notice how there's a lot of paint missing. Also also notice how it's not made of craptacular "billet CNC" aluminum because it's actually used.
