It's hard to say yes or no. Nascar/Winston Cup Racing is definately a competitive event. As far as sport, though the driver's body is pushed to the limit through dehydration and mental ability through boredom, there is no action that suggests the movement of the body, under it's own power, is what produces a win. That seems a bit confusing (it's late and I just got off a 30 hour train ride and unloaded all of my belongings from my truck). Very simply, it's not the person acting with the rest of the team to win on a human level. It's not the same as something like soccer or hockey. It belongs in a different catergory, out there with ping-pong, billiards, and darts (great games, very competitive, not sports.) BTW, I know about parking woes Mike. I used to drive a '77 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. We called it "The Banana Boat." It was yellow and huge! Usually took 2 parking spaces to park it because it was so long; there was never much room on the sides either.
C~ya,
Carolyn
