Is NASCAR considered a leisure activity or a sport? Picture a warm clear day; beer is in the cooler; the smell of hotdogs; Hamburgers and sausage simmering on the grill. In the background you hear engines revving and accelerating at high speeds. The smell of rubber burning and exhaust while it seems it is a complete waste of fossil fuels. Crowds flock to see the races or get together with friends at bars to watch the race on television and even have simple leisure time lounging in their homes viewing the television. When polling 10 people that enjoyed NASCAR. It was asked why they like to watch cars drive around in circles? The study showed 8 out of 10 replied "I like to see the wrecks." What do the drivers actually gain? Bragging rights that they can drive around in circles faster than anyone else? How much fossil fuel they can burn in 500 laps? How much pollution can be created? How possibly can NASCAR be considered either? The amount of money it takes to operate a race car verses the struggling economy. No single person should be spending that much money on a wasteful activity.
