  1. Its a bunch of cars going in a circle for hours. It's a "sport" in the same way playing video games is a sport. If the drivers did every other lap on their feet, maybe then it'd be a sport.

     

    Yeah, I'm not sure how sitting in a car and driving constitutes a sport. I drive to work everyday, but I guess because I don't drive around in circles at high speeds it doesn't count? I don't know, I don't like soccer but it is definitely a sport. I don't like NASCAR and I will never call it a sport, because it's not.

     

    Do you sit in your car for 3-4 hours at a time driving between 170 and 200 mph while dodging road rage crazies of the world(kyle busch)??? Im guessing no, the fact these guys train all year round and the season last 9-10 months of the year. Yes thats right they work on cardio and strength training help their endurance while driving a manual transmission. When they have an off week they race something else, some guys 2-3 races a week based on series and location. The drivers lose about 10 pounds during the race, in which they where firesuit(it helps protect in case you catch on fire). The cars dont have that high quality air conditioning were used too on our everyday drive, they have a single hose that blows cool air into a helmet that they where during the race, you know incase they crash. Their also STRATEGY involved, just like in FOOTBALL. The pit crews are actually ATHLETES, many of them are former college/nfl/hockey players that get hired on because they're ATHLETES. It is much TEAM SPORT as any other, some guys even drive for the same owner making them TEAMMATES, plus that have to rely on the pit crew to help them get the car better during the race.

     

    Yes I watch NASCAR, but I follow other forms racing too. I grew up around it, had family directly involved for some years on the local level.

     

    The 4th grade explanation was justified because you obviously live under a rock. Maybe turn on the Speed Channel every once in a while, it might give you better perspective. Not saying you have to like it, but atleast respect. I dont like soccer, but I respect the athletes that play it, same goes for the WNBA.

    You lost all credit with the WNBA part
