It's 50/50. The fastest car in the world can't win with you at the wheel bro.
That's also why it's a team sport. There's the driver, but there's the crew chief, the guys who service the car, the guys who build the cars, and the engine shop. WHy do you think that the first words out of just about every winner's mouth are "I had a great car today, thanks to the guys back at the shop, my crew, etc.?"
Anyway NASCAR is a sport, you guys can argue all you want, but shit if golf, bowling, and curling are sports racing sure is. There's even a word for it in the dictionary: motorsports.
