Auto racing as a sport or competition (I'm not denying that in it's purest form it's a sport and competition), is unique in that unlike most stick and ball sports where you only have two teams competing at the same time or a bunch of individuals competing at the same time, you have multiple teams competing at the same time.
I suppose what the question ought to be is how contrived or manufactured do you want the "sport" to be? Or, how much of it do you want to be a sport vs how much do you want it to be entertainment? Were do you draw the line?
