Actually, the drivers move around the track via their legs as well. The gas doesn't go on it's own
Reasons why car racing is a sport:
-You have two or more people competing for the same thing with established rules.
That's it. It's that simple. People who don't call it a "sport" are just trying to stir up the pot. Last time I checked "sport" and "athletic" weren't the same word.
"You're a good sport Max."
Is Max a good physical athletic ability? No. Max simply accepts everything that comes with a sport, IE: rules, losing, winning, etc.
Spelling bee's, thumb wrestling, bowling, NASCAR, video game playing, poker, are all sports. It's a competition between people fighting for the same goal, to win. Anything that exerts physical activity (including knowledge) with a set of rules is a sport.
