Nascar Is A Real Sport
Keep in mind that they simply make a left turn for 6 hours.

I used to think it wasn't, but then one time I raced F1 carts on a track and it was exhausting. I was sore the next day. Your muscles tense up, you have repetitive motions for what seems like too long a time, you have your senses on high alert. It's a test of endurance just as much as a test of driving skills.

And I'm not a Nascar fan, in fact I've never sat through a race either in person or even watching it on TV.

It combines physical skill and strength...just. That's a sport to me.

Yes, it is. Horseracing was the sport of kings. This is the sport of drunken rednecks.
They work very hard to get those cars in the condition they want them in. Strategy and preperation and quick reflexes are needed.
I used to ride race horses and run in track. It is more than just going as fast as you can in a circle.

NASCRASH has only two races per year, at Sears Point and Watkins' Glen. The rest are speeding exhibitions.

As for why they only turn left, it's to compensate for the fact that they're all a bunch of rightwing rednecks...either that, or it's so they can rest their left elbows on the open window frames.
