aggresive driver concern
Nobody is implying that you need to baby a car to preserve warranty coverage. But the other side of that coin is that you can't abuse it either. Any type or amount of racing is going to be considered abuse. This is plainly stated in your warranty (that most seem not to have read).

As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Nissan may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
Also, FWIW, you need to check with your insurance policy as well for any coverage when using the car at any type of track. Usually, timed-events disqualify you whereas non-timed events like HPDE or classes are okay. For timed-events, the track you're on will usually offer coverage for that day, for a minimal fee.
From page 6:
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE, FAILURES OR CORROSION DUE TO ACCIDENTS,
MISUSE OR ALTERATIONS

corrosion resulting from:

sort whatsoever. (Proper use is outlined in your
OWNER’S MANUAL.)
• Alteration, tampering or improper repair.
• Installation of non-Nissan approved accessories
or components.
• Improper installation of any Nissan approved or
aftermarket accessory or component.
• Glass breakage, unless resulting from defects in
material or workmanship.
• Normal wear and tear, including dings, dents,
chips or scratches.

Fast synchro wear + analysis of trans fluid is pretty conclusive evidence of hard driving. Unless the synchros literally fell apart or disintegrated, the signs would indiciate (escessively quick) wear and tear.
Yes, the dealer has no incentive to turn the warranty work away. Most likely, NNA was consulted and NNA decided to turn down the work; that is the case with most of the local nissan/infiniti dealers when they're not sure if the work will be reimbursed.

Plus all that counts in surveys and such.
