The simple fact that a woman can place in the top ten of a " sport " against men proves NASCAR is not a sport.
Ever try to drive a car REALLY fast? I am not talking about 100 mph. That's nothing. I am talking 150 mph minimum.
I consider myself an excellent driver. I did 130 on the Autobahn. It takes an immense amount of concentration.
Now, try it at 180 or 190 with 4 cars within 3 feet of you. For 3 hours.
There is a reason that so many race but so few get to the top. It's not athletic in the sense of basketball or football, where strength and power are key. But your hand eye coordination had better be at the very far right hand part of the tail and your mental concentration has to be unwavering.
