i can't stand nascar, you take left hand turns all day long. the only thing that is hard about that "SPORT" is the 4 hours of sitting in a car taking left hand turns.
Because thats ALL there is to it.
I'm sure you could get in and do awesome as well.

What's your point? Are you trying to assert that NASCAR is a sport?

Then again no motorsport would be a "sport" since all you do is "sit on your ***" ?
Yes but you are physically very active in the car.

I'm okay with the term "motorsport", and there really isn't any question that a very high degree of skill is required to excel in racing. Nevertheless, I really can't consider race car drivers to be "athletes". Sorry, but athletes just don't sit on their asses.
