Tony Stewart proves what we knew all along: NASCAR drivers aren't athletes

A few times a year, I engage in a discussion about various sports and non-sports, and why they are sports (or non-sports).

One of my favorite fan bases to engage is the NASCAR bunch.

Despite the fact that drivers sit on their tookis for hours on end, I'm supposed to believe that these are highly tuned athletes. The fact is, the only thing that's highly tuned is the several thousand pound machine they're sitting in.

I'll be damned if you try to tell me that these drivers are athletes. I'd have an easier time calling the CAR an athlete, if anything. And we all know that's just ridiculous.

No worries though, folks. Tony Stewart, one of the best drivers on the NASCAR circuit, has been helpful enough to end the debate for us, once and for all.

Let's be serious... if he were an athlete, is this what it would look like if he tried to throw a helmet at another driver? Would he really throw like a 6-year old girl?


Of course not.

Case closed. Not an athlete. Good day.
