F1 driver, yes. Today A superb athlete in that
Drag racing, no.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

You yanks think golfers are athletes, don't know why drag racers don't fit in there.

Would you consider a Drag Racer a athlete ? John Force looks like a typical bowling league athlete. He might be fit enough to play church league softball.

Absolutely not.
Got golf and bowling covered, I'll do nascar: take one of those Redneck Meatheads out of their Camry and throw them into a postal delivery truck route. Now that's a motorsport.

The athlete dividing line for me is anything where a skill set and talent is combined with cardio conditioning and endurance improvement that directly effects the competitive outcome. As an avid golfer, i would not say that applies here, same for golf, bowling, checkers, billiards, high diving ( which I suspect many will disagree with as most are very atleletic, and some gymnastics are not not highly cardio fitness based, so i'm getting on rather thin ice, but a disclaimer, I'm not proficient in any of these, and that is a gross understatement ), and drag racing that lasts under 20 sec.

Would you consider a Drag Racer a athlete ? John Force looks like a typical bowling league athlete. He might be fit enough to play church league softball. He’s an old guy.

Are there drag racers who are also good athletes, in good shape, etc? Of course. Do you have to be a good athlete or in good shape to be a good drag racer? Definitely not.
