Ahh.. I realize Nascar is a touchy subject.
I guess it comes down to what I see as all around athleticism. I bet michael jordan would make one hell of a wide receiver, a bitchin' soccer player, and a hell of a rugby guy in a pickup street game at the local school playground.
I can't say the same about Phil Mickelson.
I know Tony Gonzalez could play NBA basketball.
I can't say the same about any Nascar driver.
Terrell Owens is a hell of a BBall player too--I bet he would work pool players at most every sport.
Is a Nascar driver an athlete?
Can a sport be a sport if its not athletic?
If thats the case, then I'd love to be the best poker player in the world. Thats a fun "sport" for me--its certainly "mental" like Nascar, and you have to stay physically "strong" like Nascar in order to endure hours of torturous playing with very little sleep.
