You should know the basics:

Courtesy staging
What the lights are
Pro vs. standard tree
Bracket racing basics, redlighting, breaking out, etc
Locations on the track ie 60, 330, 660/mph, 1000, 1320/mph

It really depends...I've been working Safety at our track for 5 years and a good chunk of my knowledge is safety related ie...traction compounds, types of oils used and methods of cleanup, car types, safety regulations for specific classes and speeds, etc.....

Let me know if you want specifics.
