I also think "Singapore Speedway" is a safe bet for Sudo, and "Squeaky Clean Sprint" feels like a Matsuoka composition to me. Would be cool to get a soundtrack release for this one, I want to put some music to Torii and Honda's names... that duo has been pretty impressive so far in my opinion.
Now that you said it, I feel kinda dumb for not having attributed both the original MKT and the re-arranged BCP Ninja Hideaway to Nagamatsu! It makes perfect sense between the vocals that sounds like his usual weird vocals he often records himself, and the use of a recorder (while a little bit more subtle than usual), which is a big Nagamatsu-flag lol, among a few other tidbits in this song.
And for the original MKT Los Angeles Laps, I also completely agree, this sounds A LOT like him (again, the weird vocals and also the general arrangement of the song). The BCP version though... It kinda losts its Nagamatsu-vibe... I honestly think anybody in the music composers list for the BCP could have arranged it.

I also agree on both MKT and BCP versions of Singapore Speedway sounding like Sudo.
I'd also attribute him the MKT version of Vancouver Velocity (I'm not so sure about the BCP version of it though), especially after listening to some of his work on both NES Remix games and Splatoon 3.

For Squeaky Clean Sprint, with Matsuoka having most likely composed the music for Bowser's Fury, it could see him having composed this one!

Sky-High Sundae and Athens Dash and highly debatable for me. It seems they use music instruments banks sometimes used by Nagamatsu but I struggle to recognize anything Nagamatsu-like in these... And Sky-High Sundae's general "crazy" vibe, its drums and its general arrangement style make me think more of Asuka Hayazaki but I may be on a completely wrong track here lol.

Also, it's worth what it's worth but I feel the BCP version of DS Mario Circuit sounds like an Atsuko Asahi arrangement and I feel the BCP version of N64 Kalimari Desert sounds like a Yasuaki Iwata arrangement but that's just based on general arrangements styles.
