They're fit but that article says some of the 'fittest in the world'... This one puts them in 40th spot. https://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/fittest-sport/your-list.htm However, I dont totally agree with the list and you point out a big thing...the risk of death is always very close.

I can think of a hundred situations where someone clearly deserves a punch in the mouth for what they are saying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m good friends with a professional NHRA Promods racer, and he is no star athlete. He is a world record holder though…. I have spent a ton of time around racers from every type. They are dudes. That’s about it. You can’t be a big fat guy, but a ton of these guys are pretty damn normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't figure out the pictures....one with bloody teeth but the front tooth on the left is intact/fine. Next picture is nice (fixed?) teeth but that one is now chipped?? Never heard of him but it looks like he boxes. Likely two tough guys beaking off at each other in a bar and it escalates, seen that before. The chipped teeth are from being punched in his dumb face. The bloody mess picture is during surgery to try to gain sympathy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair but no one is saying a weightlifter or a diver (both listed after) isn't an athlete. They aren't MMA guys (who should be higher on that list) but I have a ton of respect for what they do, especially the endurance racers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much ignorance when it comes to how athletic drivers are. I'd like to see DB get into a NASCAR even on a more flat track like Pocono with 130-150 degree temperatures for 3 hours... If he could even last 3 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offence of assault includes anything from threatening conduct to physical conduct with another person, and the penalties range from a conditional discharge to 14 years in jail.
