NASCAR is most definetly sport. Although not my preferred brand of racing I can never understand how one can argue that it is not a sport. Yes the driver gets most of the accolades but it takes a determined owner and an entire team of people to make the cars competitive at the highest levels. Pit crews are deffo part of the team as a disastrous pit stop can have huge ramifications on the outcome of the race.
Marketing is part of every sport, every sport has sponsors who dump loads of money in the various sport. I think racing just gets hit harder by nonfans on this because the cars and drivers display their sponsors brands right up front.
