Ned Jarret drove one of the winning Yates Ford cars Dale drove back in 98 or 99 and Dale drove the 427 powered car Ned won with from either 65 or 66. Dale came in after just a handful of laps complaining about his shoulders hurting from how hard to drive that old Galaxy was. Ned on the other hand was cutting competitive lap times in Dales race car and wouldn't come in until the car was out of fuel. He told Dale, if the cars he drove were that easy to steer in his day, He'd still be racing!!!!

You need to be very fit to be an ironworker and it's pretty damned strenuous too. And very dangerous. But ironworking isn't a sport.

So what is it that defines something as being a 'sport'?

If those ironworkers are competing against each other then they are participating in a "sport".

If they aren't they're just doing their jobs.

This isn't rocket science.

Well for one thing you don't do it sitting on your ass unless YOU provide the power, as with crewers and wheelchair basketball players.

I don't know why people are so keen to defend racing as a sport.
