i agree with dksuddeth 100%. Yes maybe NASCAR isnt the most physically straining sport on earth....but there is a huge mental aspect of it required that a lot of people may not understand....now i cant say this with the 1st person knowledge that real drivers have....simply because im not one....but if there wasnt a huge part of it that was mental why would the drivers get so mad and upset if they get sent into the wall or get 2nd in a race.....or get last in a race....it doesnt matter because they are out there to do what every competetor in the world is trying to do..WIN!!...if you dont want to win...than you shouldnt be playing that sport...and when you think about it...mental strain causes the mind to worry and stress...which can result in things like fatigue...which is both a mental and PHYSICAL strain....i personally will always consider NASCAR a sport...thats just my opinion
