If someone had a dream to become a nascar driver what would they have to do to go about that dream?

Answer 1

Start racing now. Depending on the person's age, they could start out in go-karts, quater midgets, legend cars, or other low levels. Then as the driver's skills improve, move up into faster and more competitive classes. Also wouldnt hurt to attend racing schools to learn from professionals. The most important thing is seat time, so race as much as possible. Some of the most successful drivers today got to the top because of the hard work and sacrifice by them and their families when young.

Also need to be able to network with other racers and owners to get the drivers name out there. Current Nextel Cup driver Carl Edwards actually used to pass out business cards to promote himself as a driver. The driver also needs learn how to be both personable and marketable to attract potential sponsors (money drives the sport).

If a driver has the talent, personality, and the connections he/she will have a shot to make it to the national ranks.

Answer 2

Start from a young age racing. Have a passion for it that is greater than most. Work your way up through dirt track races until you get noticed or get a chance to race in a lesser NASCAR series like ARCA or Busch. Hope you can get noticed through all the Busch Whackers you'll have to finish behind, and pray that someone will think you are good enough for a Cup car. Then if you get a chance to race Cup, prove you have what it takes.

Answer 3

I believe that you have to start at an early age in the go carts, then work your way up to sprints or midgets. Have a good business manager to promote you.

Answer 4

be born rich
