re: is nascar a sport

Nascar is a soap opera on wheels.

anyone that says nascar is not a sport is retarded.

sitting in a car for 4 or 5 hours, having the ability to physically withstand some of the crashes that take place at over 180mph, wrestling a car with no power steering around a track in a full suit and helmet inside of a 140 degree cockpit. that isn't a sport? sorry.

and by there way, a woman has never won a top tier nascar race. ever.

Nascar is definetly a sport. Those drivers actually go through intense workouts to get in shape enough to withstand a race. I know there are still fatass drivers like Ryan Newman but for the most part Nascar drivers are athletic guys.

It takes way more to drive for 4 hours at 180mph in 140 degree heat than to walk a golf course.

yes

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport is commonly defined as an organized, competitive and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. Some view sports as differing from games based on the fact that there are usually higher levels of organization and profit (not always monetary) involved in sports. Accurate records are kept and updated for most sports at the highest levels, while failures and accomplishments are widely announced in sport news
