Now I am not a NASCAR fan nor do I think it is a sport, but in their defense it is very mental and goes hand in hand with sports psychology and what we’re are talking about with mental focus.

NASCAR is racing, people all using similarly efficient cars to compete the laps required then cross the finish line first. People consider nascar to be a sport because of how entertaining it is to see humans competing at an equal level to judge the skill of each person individually.
