03/26/2008 | This three means either I don't care or I don't know. I'm more concerned about getting blinded by their way too gaudy jackets with all of those advertisements for Grizzly Chewing Tobacco, Ajax, and Tang... I can't make up my mind....I do know one thing though. If we ever have a war between the North and the South again, it'll probably be over whether this is a sport. And yeah, my uniform will be blue...

03/26/2008 | Yes it's a sport, but it always seemed to me that the car was doing most of the work.

02/27/2008 | Of course auto racing is a sport. Once upon a time it was a sport that ordinary guys could get into, but now the cars cost millions and the old dirt tracks are almost all gone, so I'm no longer interested.

02/27/2008 | A person should burn more than 150 calories and not fuel in racing! This is totally nothing but cars contributing to global warming and noise pollution. Ugh!

09/24/2007 | Okay, so you have to be up to a difficult challenge, you have to be in shape, and you have to be quick-thinking ... but all that applies to picking up on women. Oh, wait, the French do call womanizing le sport ... But NASCAR still isn't one.

04/14/2007 | It may require skill, but so does shooting a BB gun at the carnival to win prizes. It is entertaining to many (I think it has the largest attendance of any "sport" in the US), but a sport? Nope, sorry...it involves a motor running on something other than human power. Not a sport. I look at it as entertainment...influential entertainment because of the large crowds (live and on TV), but not a sport.

08/09/2006 | Hell naw it aint a sport. Id rather watch WNBA than these rednecks drive for 10 hrs. Dale Earnhart Jr. is ugly like a mofo he overrated. At least some of those WNBA gurls got some back though, but they aint pretty in the face, TIP DRILL!!

05/01/2006 | Definitely a sport, a very expensive and exclusive sport. Seems like you either love it or hate it with no in between. I like the Blue Collar Tour's suggestion for the Tampax 500.

02/18/2006 | No not a sport, sure it may get adrenaline going, it may be challenging mentally, but doesn't street racing do the same thing? Is that considered a sport? Not to mentions how spectator unfriendly it is, how exciting can it be to sit and watch a bunch of aluminum shells with an engine and a driver inside of them go around in circles, wow exhilerating.

12/22/2005 | Automotive sports are demanding, not only physically, but mentally. The driver has to concentrate on the road, the other cars around, the car itself, and be able to handle the G-force put on their bodies. Even for the pit crews it is a work out. Having to carry a tire over a wall, change the tires on each side in less that 15 seconds is no easy task.

06/29/2005 | NASCAR, or any race car driving for that matter, is a sport. The physical demands are astounding. The hand-eye coordination that is required over that of typical driving is unobtinable for most folks. I much prefer F1 or CART to NASCAR because they use more road-courses, as opposed to NASCARs mostly, oval tracks. This is due to the limited handling capabilities of NASCAR suspensions.

05/05/2005 | Its more physically demanding and more dangerous than even my beloved football. Plus you most certainly cannot do this drunk.

02/13/2005 | The most unwatchable abortion of an alleged sporting event ever perpetuated on western civilization. It's metal coffin-billboards designed to sell a product. . .people watch with rapt attention because someone could die at any moment. . .did I mention that it's 3 hours of left turns?. . .I think they should make the sport more dangerous instead of making the cars safer. At least I'm honest about my interest in the carnage.

07/01/2004 | before you criticize nascar, and say they're just driving around a track, aren't baseball players just standing around waiting to catch or hit a ball, and basketball players shooting a ball through a hoop. i tell you what, after the of a race look at the drivers and tell me if they're just as worn out as a stick and ball athlete. coy gibbs (joes son) once said that driving a busch car was harder than playing college football.

04/22/2004 |  NASCAR is a sport so much. I dont know how u can call something SO competitive and physically demanding not a sport. Have you ever taken a sharp turn and everyone in your car shoots to one side of the car, now imagine that 3 or 4 times faster, doing it for 3-4 hours straight, its 120-150 degrees in the car, the most brake you get is 14 seconds, enough to take a quick drink of water, and then your out racing again. The record of g-forces taken by a driver is in the IRL, 238 g-forces, was of course injured, and he be racin in like half a year, these guys are tough! And yes, they do physically train for the sport. Also, if you still dont believe that its a sport, a test WAS done to see if it was physically demanding, and a guy got up to 214 heart beats per minute durng a wreck, and for a driver not in the wreck, still got up to 174 which is well over twice the ammount of his normal heat beat. Not to mention that drivers lose 6-10 lbs. each race, remember... this is only 3 hours!!! Tell me NASCAR and other motorSPORTS are not sports now! And I hope your normal comute to work isnt like this!

02/17/2004 | No, since when is driving a car really really fast around and around and around a track considered a sport?

02/17/2004 | I feel that is a competetive sport but only a tiny percentage of the population will ever get to participate. Many people only watch it for the car wrecks (myself included), but it gets boring after 5 minutes.

02/17/2004 | No. It requires a certain amount of skill and stamina and I suppose it's entertaining to some but that doesn't make a sport.

02/16/2004 | I do not think NASCAR is necessarily a sport, but it fun to watch on TV. And the fans are very competitive when it comes to their favorite drivers. I think any kind of recreational activity that is positive and stops people from doing bad things is good.

02/16/2004 | Yeah, I drive around in circles every day, too--it's called the beltway and the commute. If only I COULD go over a 100 (without getting pulled over) . . .
