Why do some Hemi’s have polished valve covers and some black?

The race Hemi's got chrome covers and the street hemis got the wrinkle black covers. Why this is I am not sure really but there are some differences between them. Also back in the day you could buy the chrome covers over the counter which many did so you will see a lot of street cars running them.
