Default why axles break easier on the street than the strip??

ive heard it is easier to break axles on the street than the strip, can someone explain why? i thought it would be the oppisite do to tire spin on the street, rather than the instant torque on the axles from the drag strip.

and what about trannnies? is it also more likely to break on the street than the strip?
