Driving a car at 180+ mph in a fireproof suit takes not only a lot of strategy, but the driver must also be in peak physical condition to withstand those circumstances. Racing is hard on the body - if you don't believe me, just look at Mark Martin. He's only 44.

It's hard on the mind, too. It takes a lot of focus and concentration to go that fast for 500 miles on a circular track.

It's all right if you don't like racing. Fine. But there isn't any need for you to put down people who do, or the people who drive the cars, or make sweeping generalizations about them.
