Default Pro racers and their Radio/Frequency Choice

With the arrival and claims of new 2.4 systems, I see top level racers such as Adam Drake.... and others whose names I don't know running on 27mhz or 75mhz FM.

With them being pro drivers, what are the advantages of staying on this frequency band?

2.4ghz systems 'claim' to be faster, glitch free, etc. To me it makes sense to be on 2.4 ghz, but I see otherwise on top level racing. Specifically at the JBRL series, I saw lots of long extended antennas on the expert class drivers stand as opposed to the 2.4 nubby antennas.
