It requires a high endurance, so I'd go with yes, they are athletes. Is a sport, eh.

Sure, just as much as golfers, bull riders, jockeys, baseball players, curlers, bowlers, et al. are athletes. Now if you ask if I think they are athletic, that's a different story.

No, but more so than golfers or baseball players.

NASCAR drivers are just as much athletes as video gamers who compete for hours on end.

The pit crew members are athletic

It's more sporting than any judged activity (boxing is not "judged" as it can end in a KO or TKO). Those are competitions, not sports.

That was not my intent, but you could also argue that anyone who sits and drives for hours is also an athlete (i.e. a truck driver, the mail man, a commercial pilot, a drug smuggler, etc.) competing for your business.

I'd put most NASCAR drivers in a class of "athletic" individuals (endurance/mental focus/have to stay in trim shape to gain an advantage?) competing in a machine driven event.

Also,

Nascar drivers are absolutely more athlete-ish than golfers. But that's not saying much.

Well, 'Merica's pastime but you were on the right track. And yes, baseball has gained popularity in many other countries. Much like basketball. Keen observation though. It would have been more emphatic had you done your cute little hick thing.

No, and neither are baseball players, golfers, billiards players, or poker players.

NASCAR drivers are somewhere between strippers and mailmen on the "does this qualify as being an athlete?" list.

It took me about 10 seconds to learn to drive a car in a circle. Took me 5 years to learn to hit a ball 300 yards.
