Do You Consider NASCAR a sport?

Topic is discussed about between NASCAR fans and ignorant people in my school.

Yes

The only excuse these ignorant people have with NASCAR to not consider it a sport is that "Driving is easy." These ignorant people, nor many race fans, have never driven a car at 200MPH with other cars around them.

Have you ever seen a NASCAR driver. Most of them, about all of them weigh around 180 or so pounds. NASCAR drivers have to keep their bodys in good condition for edurance. It's about 90 degrees outside, track jumps that temp to, lets say, about 20 more degrees. Now, you are racing in a car that has NO air condition what so ever except the window which is blowing in hot air, you are in a hot fire suit with a helment over your head, and then you are strapped in to the point you can't even turn your head. All you can move at this point is your arms and your legs.

You run 500 laps at high rate of speed. Your constantly thinking knowing if you are not fast enough you will crash into the wall going 180 MPH. Thats enough to knock you out or even cause death. However, you love doing this, so you keep driving. Your car starts to get lose and you know something is wrong, but you don't know what it is. You need to go to the pits and find out before you get laped and lose points!

There is a scenario for you. NASCAR is defintley a sport and so is other motorsports. The people who say, "Oh, all they do is turn left" is totaly on the brink of stupid. Have you ever drove a car over 100 MPH much less 180 or even to 200? No. Have you ever drove a car inches away from other cars going high speeds? No. Most of you haven't even worked on a car.

Tell me, if NASCAR isn't a sport, then why is it the 2nd largest spectator sport? That out ranks basketball and everything.

I could go on and on, but I won't strain your eyes. Yes, it is a sport. Like it or not.

Really, all a sport consists of is getting points and a winner. NASCAR follows that.

Side: Yes

NASCAR is an sport, but it really should be reduced to merely as a spectator sport.

Well yea, it's hard to get into NASCAR. I mean, you can try to get there but most people fail at it.

Even the rookie NASCAR driver has 100's of hours of racing below their belt. Most NASCAR drivers started racing when they were in their teens, some younger in go-karts.

I support your comment. It's not as easy as getting a ball, bat, and glove to start practicing.

Side: Yes

Nascar is a Sport and has a very large fanbase. There is also heavy sponsorship and the Sports stores sell plenty of Nascar merchandise.

Side: Yes
