I don't consider NASCAR or any of those auto races "sport." I consider those a sorry-ass form of "entertainment." Sport to me implies that a human or sometimes a human and an animal get some physical exercise. Might be using the hunting sense of the word (sport hunting) or it might be the sense of games (football, baseball, soccer) or small group or solitary pursuits (hiking, climbing, swimming, running, etc.).

Nope. NASCAR is the CAR doing most of the work, burning up petrochemicals at a furious rate, creating lots of noise and air pollution in the process.

It's a sedentary and wasteful form of entertainment, sitting watching cars drive in a circle waiting for the crash and burn along the way.
