What happens with race gas is the sensor gets contaminated from the lead and it can not properly sense the oxygen in the exhaust gas anymore. Throwing of the A/F is exactly what it will do.
You can run a few gallons of race gas a month for a couple years before it affects your O2 sensor enough for you to notice.

The O2 sensor is only used for closed loop feedback. It is never used for feedback during wide open throttle (open loop mode). So a dead (or even missing) O2 sensor will never affect the A:F ratio at WOT.
