Racing in most cases, can be considered a sport due to the extreme G forces placed on the body and the fitness required to be able to do what they have to do. Mainly, open wheeled cars require the driver to be fairly fit. NASCAR, not so much.
NASCAR is not and never will be a sport. The best argument I've heard is that it's hot and really long. So are marathons but they're running the entire time instead of sitting there.

I agree with what Kyle said. FRC in it's current format isn't a sport because of the lack of physical exertion.
