Allow Me To Retort…Yes Indeed, NASCAR’s A Sport
I’m a poet, didn’t you know it?
My colleague (if bloggers can truly have colleagues, we’re a strange bunch who don’t shower often enough to have colleagues) here at FastMachines, Ray Champagne recently asked the question of whether or not motor racing is a sport. Ray came to the conclusion that he had changed his mind after a discussion with some friends and that he didn’t see how it could be judged as a sport.
Ray is a very good writer, and in the interests of good debate, and with no malice intended, I’d like to offer a counter-point to Ray’s view. And hopefully in the process, I’ll get Ray back over to the right side of the force (put that dark helmet down Ray, you can still be saved, the force is strong is you)…
