Quarks don't have quantum energy states to transition between, hence they aren't subject to radiating photons due to acceleration.

Similar to why the electron in a hydrogen atom doesn't keep emitting radiation and crash into the nucleus once it reaches its ground state... there's no lower state for it to jump to.
