Do you think NASCAR is a Sport?

[sam9ball]

I can't really consider this a sport. Whats so hard about driving around in a circle?
Way too much money wasted in NASCAR.
Fuel
Tires

[Optional]

Of course it is. But who cares either way.

Motorsport in general and NASCAR especially is one the best sports to bet on if you like long event betting (like golf and tennis)

And also one sport where betting on it makes it a lot better to watch ;-)

The average driver loses 5 pounds of sweat in a single race. They put their bodies through extreme conditions and train accordingly. I can't bother watching it myself but it is obviously a sport.

[DOM_Toretto]

NASCAR is more of a sport than golf.

Although I am not a fan, NASCAR has teams, strategy, and ability to alter your opponents' performance.

Golf - no team, no defense, no effect on opponents performance.

Golf is a game/competition.

Are you describing Nascar racing or JJGold having sex? Everything you said is spot on for both I think.

Damn right its a Sport,why would you need a poll to ask this question.

Some of the other posters have already laid out the reasons why it is a Sport pretty clearly.

It takes a lot of skill but it's not a sport; could a little chick (Danica Patrick) compete at the highest level in a real sport?

I bet you these same clowns that say it isn't a Sport would say Horse Racing is.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Horse racing is a sport although not near as tough as human sports.

And so is Nascar,really explain to me the difference.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Try riding a horse then driving a car; you'll know the difference.

See you just don't get it,you think driving a car and driving a Nascar are the same.

Is that any different than female jockeys competing?

The 25 years ago Redneck beer belly drivers is long past....for the most part you'll find the drivers are hardcore athletes...and the stress that the "G's" put on the body while driving is pretty intense especially on some of the high speed/banked tracks

[jjgold]

It's a very popular sport Sammy… Of course more of a redneck sport but I think it is a sport not easy being in those cars takes a lot of determination, Being alert , being smart been having good conditioning

[Booya711]
