How is nascar a sport?

Question

all you do is drive a car

in circles

and crash

and change tires/gas/etc.

someone tell me how its a sport

Answer 1

It's a sport because you make it sound so easy, yet you would be horrible if you were in it.

Answer 2

And thats all it will ever be to you.  Why waste your time asking such dumb questions when you already have your answer

Answer 3

Congratulations on being the 804th person to ask this question(and no I'm not joking about this either). Please try to be more creative when you post here next time.

BTW basketball blows compared to hockey.

Answer 4

All the drivers are athletes...They have personal trainers just like basketball players....They drive 500 miles in a car that could be 150 degrees in temp....Sure they wreck but they usually come back the next week and race...That's because they are in top condition..If it were so easy  then everyone would be doing it...Put it this way,how many fat drivers are there?NONE!!!!!

Answer 5

Your wheatgrass should be able to tell you how Nascar is a sport.

Answer 6

You just described your drive to your therapist!

Answer 7

i'm surprised so many people (including myself) took the time to answer this inane, vapid question (look'em up).

although i don't necessarily agree completely, i'll give an answer from one of the most supposedly macho male writers/adventurers of all-time:

"Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports ... all others are games."

--Ernest Hemingway (look him up)

Answer 8

I would like to see you get in your car on the hottest day of the year; drive 500 miles w/o getting out at a rest stop, and driving at about 200 miles an hour.  I doubt that would be easy.  Just try it.  It beats watching golf on tv.

Answer 9

you forgot "there's no ball"

Answer 10

go look up the definition of sport and you will see how it is

Answer 11

Its not

and all these people are mad at you lol

thats why its on ESPN 2

Answer 12

Well Nascar isn't a sport, it's a lifestyle,  ether you live it or you don't!

Answer 13

I agree with you but as long as someone wins and looses .. they will call it a sport especially when money is involved.

Answer 14

Competition, strategy, drama. Perhaps youd be happier with it if there were a ball involved. To form an intelligent opinion about a subject you must first know about it. You obviously dont my friend.

Answer 15

What makes a Sport a Sport? Please use the edit function and explain to the World your definition of a Sport !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

You do it.

Answer 17

This question is sooooo tired, BUT, I ask you to consider....THE PIT CREW

Lots of former college athletes (football especially). Depending on your job.....you need strength, agility, quickness, manual dexterity and a clear head.

Answer 18

How is basketball a sport? Putting a ball in a hoop. WOW!! that takes talent. Now to drive 190 bumper to bumper door to door, and not crash, that's talent.
