So, do yall consider motorsports like Nascar, Drag Racing, Indy cars, Midgets etc. a real sport? Do you consider drivers real Athletes? I ask this because I remember when my brother use to race in 4-cylinders modified people wouldn't really consider him a real athete because according to them all he does is drive a car around a oval for about 20 laps. I think Motorsport is a real sport, and that drivers are real Athletes. I dare anyone to try to move through a pack of cars going 200 mph and not crash. All the while using stuff like draft trains, your team mates in other cars, and the set up to make it to the front. I would also like to see the naysayers try to put the cars in the right spot on pit lane without going over and have their friends change 4 tires, fuel up the car, and wipe the grill and windshield in 30 seconds.

So what do yall think?
