Nascar drivers have been known to lose 10 after a race. They work up bigger sweats than football, baseball, and basketball players. Nascar also has a handbook filled with rules. Its not only a sport, its a team sport. A driver can't win without a good pit crew. These guy play there sport for longer than any other athletes. Some races can last 4 1/2 hours. Nascar is sport whether people that hate it like it.<br><b>References : </b><br> The American Heritage Dictionary defines Sport as an activity that involves physical action and has a set body of rules.

i for one am not white trash, and i love nascar, and i also enjoy making fun of white trash people, nascar is steadily growing on many different types of people and soon the white trash aspect will be bull****
