Take some pictures. I wrecked once and the bearing pushed through the clamps causing the stem to move up and down.. Check yours out.

...every upward bump of the stem will toe-out your front tires, for very weird and possibly dangerous handling. I'd be worried in a racing situation, and fix it first.

I was thinking about your mention of racing, and high speed whoops with all of that abrupt yanking up and down. The threads are protected really by what is left of the bearing, but the rest of the lower stem could get chewed up down there. A racer should chime in here, and will probably tell you to fix it before any riding. You could do the job in less than 2 hours.
