You 'set' the acceleration by adding forces to bodies:
void dBodyAddForce            (dBodyID, dReal fx, dReal fy, dReal fz);
See also the related functions:

Or if you use motors (which is more likely in a racer game) you can use the 
dParamFMax to control the power of the motor and dParamVel to set the 
velocity.

You can get the linear speed with
const dReal * dBodyGetLinearVel  (dBodyID);
