THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 5B
Is NASCAR a real sport? KU students say yes
The following responses to last week's Kansan.com sports poll question "Is NASCAR a sport?" were taken directly from the Kansan.com forums.
No editing was done to these entries.
Auto racing requires great concentration and can be deadly
NASCAR really is a sport. Unfortunately many do not fully analyze everything that goes into racing, and fall back on comments like, "They are just driving cars in circles, how hard can that be."
In essence that is what they are doing, but one must think about all the other factors governing these actions. Drivers must endure 100+ degree heat, with no air conditioning; much physical stress comes from the orientation of the driver for such an extended period of time; and the mental stress is at an inconceivable level.
Now quadruple the speeds and ask the same question. NASCAR, and all other forms of racing have one of the highest, if not the highest risk of death while participating.

NASCAR is physically mentally demanding
Of course NASCAR is a sport. NASCAR drivers have to fight not only their cars but g-forces,
They have to do all of this while trying not to hurt themselves as well as anyone else on the track.
They are having to make constant split second decisions that could mean life or death for them and their opponents. There are no time outs, halftimes, second chances, or challenges. It's all or nothing in NASCAR. — Super-sportss4
pit crews,crew chiefs,other drivers,extreme temperatures for long hours,and extreme attitudes.
I know many people say,
"Wow, racing in a circle 200 times in a car, how is that a sport?" Well, if NASCAR wasn't a sport, why is it, then, covered in the sports section on the 10 p.m. news? Why are the races on NBC Sports and FOX Sports? Why do you find race coverage in the section of the local newspaper? Even EA Sports makes NASCAR Thunder 2003. According to Yahoo!, Auto Racing is a sport. — bennyboy
