What education would you need to get a job working for Nascar?

Question

I like the racing industry and currently right now I hold a factory position. I like to make a change in jobs. And I'm trying to find something that I enjoy doing and are familiar with.

Answer 1

i don't think it matters how much educations you have alot of it has to do w/ luck!
there is alot of different jobs you could hold w/ many different educations and alot of jobs don't even see the track so just look pick a job your interested in and look up what they do and call your local college or where ever you want to go to school

Answer 2

I think it depends on the type of job. You'd have to do some research on the jobs available in the market. Some you might not need college, others lots. But no matter what you do in life, a college degree will always be worth it! So my advice would be to try to take some college classes, maybe in business because no matter what, no person or nothing in life can ever take your education away from you!

Congrats on trying to better yourself and good luck. I hope this helps and maybe you could check out my question about WHY Junior is changing his number.

Answer 3

Justin S is rite.

I also race on dirt tracks but in mid- mo. I watched Carl Edwards go from dirt to the big dance he used business cards.

Here are a few other job fields to look into

1. Sheet metal fabrication.

2. Engine builder ( Racing engines)

3. Welding Arc, MiG and Tig become certified.

4. Chassis set up you need to know geometry. It is all about percentages. Rear weight, cross weight and left side weight ect

Answer 4

find a local short track and find a team that needs some help. there will probably be plenty of them around. just get your feet wet, and get to know some people. i raced on local dirt tracks in ohio for about 6 years and watched several friends and fellow competitors find jobs this way. one was even offered an engine building job at Robert Yates Racing. i have read in many of the stock car magazines that team owners prefer saturday night racers to college grads for there teams. believe me the experience you get there cannot be matched in a classroom. you might get lucky and learn everything from setting up the cars to working in the pits to loading the trailer. if nothing else the experience is well worth the price of admission. if you already have experience you might think about craigslist or racingjunk.com . just my two cents, good luck.

Answer 5

If you know about what's under the hood of your car and know how to change a tire, then I'd give you the job in a snap. Just need info on you. (Not literally!) I'm just a NASCAR fan like all of you.

Answer 6

NASCAR employs professionals in career fields such as Research and Development, Information Technologies, Accounting, Public Relations, Marketing, Licensing, Broadcasting Media and Human Resources, as well as Officials and Inspectors in its Competition Department.

Answer 7

mainly you would need training in the automotive industry. The best education you could get is as a technician. Also racing is all aftermarket applications so you would need some of these abilities that are inherent in your lifestyle. You have to understand design and all of their applications to performance.

Answer 8

Most of the team members have a tech school or college diploma or certificate.Though some are high school grads most hold some sort of certifications.
