I see the argument you guys are making and agree with it to some degree even, but you have to know there is a fair bit of athleticism to driving a NASCAR race. Stamina, reflexes, incredible coordination as well as a keen sense of strategy all come into play throughout any race.
A lot of people would be blown away if they were to try driving one of those cars around a track at that speed for a sustained period of time. Add in 50 other cars and the real possibility of death and you may just change your tune about it not being a sport.
No one I know goes 210 MPH to get to the supermarket. EDIT: except maybe Minte. :D
