Gee were happy for you. You drove a car to the left better than anyone else this year. Must be the best athlete inthe world then.
NASCAR has the best marketing people in the business and have for quite some time.

What?
Cotto was a top tier Welterweight.
After he beat De La Hoya, the mainstream media started looking for him. When he massacred Hatton, he became THE boxer to watch. And the Cotto fight was thebiggest PPV draw in years.

race car drivers are not athletes
Say word. Its disgusting
If NASCAR wasnt a @%%%@$# sport, and Jimmie Johnson wasnt a @%%%@$# athlete then he wouldnt have been on the @%%%@$# ballot. Some of you people are so @%%%@$#******ed its unreal.
Jimmie Johnson absolutely domininated NASCAR this year. You think Tiger would get an award for anything at this point? No Kobe,LeBron? Lets be serious. JimmieJohnson definitely deserved the award.
I knew this **+% was gunna be a huge debate about NASCAR and its drivers not being and sport and athletes

2010 Athlete of the Year: Phil Ivey
2011 Athlete of the Year: Winner of the ESPN spelling bee that year
2012 Athlete of the Year: Winner of the Nathans Hot Dog Eating contest
Serena Williams just won 2009 female athlete of the year. They should've given it to Danica Patrick.

NASCAR is not a sport - NASCAR is entertainment. I view NASCAR drivers the same way I view professional wrestlers, but that's just me. /shrugs

i had to google jimmie johnson to figure out who he is, what he looks like, and what he's accomplished. i'm not really impressed, how would he do inother top racing leagues, f1 or rally or something like that. can he turn right?
i can see why people consider driving a sport; you need great reflexes, coordination, stamina, focus, and a tolerance of discomfort, but in the end, driving acar requires a very specific set of those skills that i can't qualify as "athletic"

I'm not gonna defend NASCAR, I'll leave that to others. But I'd LOVE to get some of the people in here into a real car for a 2.5 hour race.Speaking from extensive experience, even the professed "athletic" ones in here would be hurting from a little formula renault or even formula bmw carnonetheless a world series, f3000, gp2 or, heaven forbid, f1 car. The training regimens of the world's top drivers are insane. Whether or not NASCARqualifies for that is debatable and something I honestly don't care about. But other forms of driving absolutely do. If Jenson Bbutton can go and do a 2 hr7 min triathlon from only his normal training regimen for driving, that's an athlete.
