Can we pass a law...

...That forbids people from calling NASCAR a "Sport?"

Since when does sitting in the stands sucking down Coors Light, carbon monoxide fumes, and chili dogs, while watching people incessantly turn left constitute a "Sport"?? I'd like to postulate that if you consume more calories than you burn, it's not a "sport"...

Since when is watching any sport a sport? You are confusing spectators with participants. Is football a sport? That doesn’t mean watching football is a sport.

Spectating as you have listed is not the sport, the driving is. Are football, soccer, hockey, basketball and baseball any different?

Remeber if you can't die doing it, it's a game not a sport

First of all I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I think that you have to check your facts. The temperature inside a race car can reach a lot more than a 100 degrees and the stress on their bodies is really high. Drivers do sweat a lot more than what we do when skydiving.

And I agree with Lindsey, if it is just about drinking beer and eating junk food ours wouldn't be a sport either.

If you can die doing it then its a sport. NASCAR is more involved than going fast and turning left. There's more strategy than meets the eye. Take it from someone who used to be part of a pit crew for a well known Nextel Cup driver now.

Not while packing. No one sweats more than a skydiver trying to pack a new canopy on a hot day. No one.

I don't think he quite gets the physical conditioning involved in driving a racing vehicle...any racing vehicle. Silly NASCAR whuffo!

Please don't dent the planet.
