Some people might argue NASCAR isn’t a real sport, mainly I think because it’s cars racing around the track and not people running around one.I think it’s a sport, albeit one I don’t have a lot of knowledge about lately. In my opinion if competitive eating of hot dogs is now a sport, automotive racing surely is.I define it as a sport due to the nature of being competitive the same way fishing is a sport. You have what are supposed to be stock cars, all being equal, with the variable being the driver and all the things that could go wrong out there.I was watching the older Tom Cruise movie “Days of Thunder” the other night and the drivers were repeatedly bumping into Cruise’s character Cole Trickle’s car.
