ok...some friends of mine and i had this arguement a while ago... i KNOW nascar is NOT a sport...its a hobby...i mean what kinda talent does it take to drive a car around in circles...not only that its really boring to watch..i cant stand it...any way i could just drive my car around circles in parking lots and doing the same dam thing...the only arguement anyone has is that the go like 180mph...well anyone could do that if you had a free road.....its just a HOBBY for stupid rednecks..

Sports are athletic and competitive. NASCAR is competitive but hell, life is competitive period.
And since the majority of NASCAR drivers are in their 40's and 50's, its pretty obvious their aint much athleticism to it.
So no it's not a a sport at all.
-
so Track and Field isnt a sport either?
There is a pit crew full of TEAM members that are involved in the race. U have to use big time strategy in racing. Car Racing is a sport to me.

HELL MUTHAFUCKIN NO IT AINT A SPORT
-
I'd consider it a sport, but I don't consider drivers atheletes.

Hold up Javi
Track and Field is a fuckin sport, those are real athletes competing to attain a certain level of athletic and physical excellence,
Those drivers are not athletes, Car racing is NOT a sport
-
not all sports are based on athletics.
there must be skill involved ;)

what happens at a pit stop? They change the tires, put the gas inside the car, and they do it in less than 20 seconds, if thats not athletic than i dont know what is. 3 hours of thinkin of how to stay up front, and steering the hard ass wheel. Thats tough.

if thats not athletic than i dont know what is
i guess u dont lol j/k homie but fah reals so a person who works changing tires or at a gas station makes him athletic???

u guys dont know how hard it is to race. thats like if i ask "whats so hard about swinging the ball at the bat?" or "throwing a football around" or "whats so hard about kickin the ball back and forth" , its a certain skill involve the whole driving team. How to get pass the next racer. To bump another guys car and push him away to take the lead. Its more than what u see on TV.

It's definetly a sport, by definiton, a sport does not have to involve athletics, but let me say this, my uncle has a hobby where he races stock cars... just a hobby, he has a job otherwise, but however, when i watch nascar with him, which i must admit is boring to watch, you can only respect what they do, its not simple, its fucking hard as hell.... its one of the biggest mind games to go against, its not just racing, its a lot more too, you have a team, not just a racer, a team that fight to be the best, with pit crews, strategizing and so on.... its not just a race, its definetly more

a sport yes, an athletic sport no but tha hand eye cordanation them guys have is amazing, havin to be able to react at a split second at anytime

YEs , it is a sport. I dislike nascar cause it is simply a huge waste of fossil fuel and it also contributes to pollution. THink about the number of laps played and fuel used in each game, what a waste, plus its pretty boring to watch to the casual tv viewer too.
peace

yup

It's a sport because it's competitive
Snooker is a sport and you don't have to be athletic for that, and when I watch Baseball or American Football there is so many fat muthafuckas walking around it's hard to call them athletic, but they're still sports.
