NASCAR....

heck you gotta have endurance to sit in a hot school room close to summer, but obviously that's not a sport

i guess i have to have endurance to be able to drive from home to richmond or to VT

list the attributes that "athletes" have and lets compare what you consider an athlete and what drivers have

setting in an air conditoned room for an hour sure is tuff.

Race car drivers complain about 3hours in 120 degree heat, what a bunch of pansies.

NASCAR, much like chess, takes no "physical" abilities...it is all mind and sensory skills

Try it and find out.

running, jumping, strength to name a few

But I can run and jump

heck, try getting a 2400 on your SAT, that's pretty hard...it must be a sport too

would that be a requirement in NASCAR...when looking for drivers do they make them run and jump?

Drivers train daily running, lifting weights, and other junk to be able to drive like they do. Guess that makes them athletes.
