It's a tough
It's a tough call. I can bet that it's pretty physically and mentally demanding to drive a car for 500-600 miles at top speed competitively, all the while not making a single mistake. I have a hard enough time driving a car 400 miles non-stop at 80 mph without taking a break of some sort. Whether that makes it an athletic sport, I'm not sure.
As far as graphics and gameplay goes, Nascar games in the past have been notorious for being some of the worst racing games ever made. In the 90's all of the game companies had a false target audience that they were shooting for. All of the games were targeted for bottom of the range video cards, bottom of the range processors and memory requirements because they assumed a demographic of poor rednecks with wife-beater shirts who spent more money on Budweiser beer than their PCs. The games have gotten better and better though, and I wouldn't be surprised if the latest installment is a top notch racing game for some of the most picky gamers.
I'm not sure when EA Sports picked up the Nascar licensing, but it seems they've been doing the brand justice. The last one I played was Nascar '06, and that game was close, but not quite there. I'm hoping '08 will close the gap with next gen graphics and improved XBL functionality.
