Without arguing the definition of "sport", have you ever tried jumping or flat racing a horse (certainly steeple-chasing)? I haven't done it in years, and I can't say I enjoyed it much, but I can tell you it requires some serious physical fitness. Not at my basketball or soccer levels, but there's honest physical exertion going on here. You feel it in the morning.
I have no experience with NASCAR racing, but from a physics standpoint I'd wonder if they don't need some solid aerobic conditioning.
