I heard a really good explanation of why the drivers of NASCAR should be considered athletes by Jeff Burton. The speeds at which they drive, and the G-Force that it creates is not something that everyone can:
(1) Handle (2) Maintain competence over a 3 hour period
And while he didn't necessarily call NASCAR a sport, he definitely made a good argument I felt that the drivers were athletes who had to be able to handle everything that comes with driving a car at over 130 mph for the course of 3 hours. 6/15/2008 1:38:58 AM |
