Question

How do you grow up to be a nascar spotter

Answer 1

keep your eyes peeled

Answer 2

hang out on a interstate overpass and practice with a head set talking to yourself, tell those every days when to switch lanes and when to watch out for drivers from Ohio.

Answer 3

It's not that easy to be a spotter. You need a TON of commitment and focus when you're up there above the suits. You don't have any restroom breaks, because you can't. Standing there for four hours with a pair of binoculars glued to your eyes  guiding your driver isn't a walk in the park. Whether it's fighting heat, wind, rain, or whatever, it's not as easy as you'd think.  

Answer 4

first you need to get on a team at your local track to learn the ropes and the lingo they use late models and up the smaller classes arent aloud radio comunications its basically a learning curve go to you local track in the pits and talk to some of the crews tell them your interest and if you could listen in on the communications and you would be interested in volontering your time at the track to learn to be a spotter if you get lucky and find the rite team you;ll be on your way once you get a good resume then send it out to the nascar teams remember spottors do other thing as well with the team like truck driver ,cook or what ever it takes at the shop or track and requires lots of time and total commitment so good luck to you remember anything is possible so follow your dreams

Answer 5

Usually the spotter has antoher "main" job like the Car hauler driver or one of the pilots....I now for a fact back in 2000-2001 Bobby Labonte's spotter was also his pilot. Spotting isnt that difficult, so they try to utilize someone that is already in the team or a friend (someone that the driver is comfrotable with) of the driver.

Answer 6

I don't know but my wife would be a natural. She is always telling me how to drive.

Answer 7

i TOTALLY disagree with Vader...i am a spotter for a late model at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, Wisconsin and it is one of the toughest things i've ever had to do.  I also have experience spotting for an  ASA Midwest Tour team at Raceway Park in Shakopee, Minnesota and Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, Wisconsin and i can tell you that you are on edge the whole race, always keeping your eyes peeled on everything going on down on the track.  

if you s***w up, the driver wrecks the car.  luckily i've never wrecked anything spotting, but i can tell you that it definitely is a very difficult job to have

and as far as getting started, i've been working on late models since i was 15, and eventually our driver needed a spotter, and i volunteered to do it since i've been interested in it, so thats how i got my start.

the team i'm with now is just because one of my best friends was moving up to late models this year, and he knew i had experience and that i was pretty good at spotting, and he trusts me and is comfortable with me, so i ended up with the job
