Auto Racing is a Sport. Most sports can be taught year round and in gym classes for kids but it doesn't make it a sport. Yes, most sports use balls (soccer, football, basketball, etc.) but that doesn't classify it as a sport.
Drag Racing really got its start as a contest in the 1950s with the rise in popularity of hot rods â vehicles with classic bodies (1932 Fords, etc) which were modified with modern engines and tuning to create more power and run faster. Hot rodders would race each other on long empty strips of road. Now, drag racing is a professional sport, with classes covering everything from junior dragsters, to motorcycles, to vintage vehicles, to nitro-powered vehicles.
