NASCAR!!! Please be Honest!?

Question

Can a girl be a Nascar driver? If so do they have to go to College or no? She is only 13 years old, but she has experince with go carts. When she gets older around 18 or so she has to go to a raceway and train right? Then she competes and if she qualifys does she become a NASCAR driver or no? Please help me.

Answer 1

Yes, a female can be a NASCAR driver.  They can't say a female can't do NASCAR because "she's a girl."  That's sexual discrimination and it's big-time illegal.  The problem is it's very difficult to become a NASCAR driver, regardless of your gender.  Not only do you need experience, you need sponsorship.  Some NASCAR drivers start off like you have, and they continue to race (many of them spend their own money to stay in the biz) hoping to get noticed by someone who is willing to sponsor them.  Other NASCAR drivers work on pit crews and drive on the side when they can, again, often spending their own money to race and hoping to get noticed.  BOTTOM LINE:  Being a girl won't stop anyone from being a NASCAR driver, but thousands of people try to break into NASCAR and never make it.  To get in you have to be one of the best, you have to get noticed, and you have to get people who are willing to sponsor you.

Answer 2

better not wait till ya get 18 to start preparing and training

Answer 3

um yes it's just that most girls aren't good enough too. here's the answers.

college - you do not have to

go-karts - get more experience than just some

I do not know answer 3

yes if she qualifies she competes look at Chrissy Wallace!

Answer 4

Girls can participate but I think all driver have to go through that NASCAR certification training or something like that.

Plus it will cost a lot of money on the drivers side until they get noticed. Remember in nascar tires cost about $4000 a set imagine? I think there's a lot of red tape involved.

Answer 5

you can be any gender to race in NASCAR. To race in the top 3 series you must 18 years older.

Answer 6

I think there's no better time than the present for females to start moving into NASCAR.  As long as they're talented, the sport will eat it up with all the attention women like Danica Patrick and Chrissy Wallace have gotten.  I think that NASCAR is starting to lost that hillbilly reputation its had for a long time and more women should start driving.

Answer 7

Any gender you just have to get discovered!!! You just start on dirt and work way up!!

Answer 8

at 18 anyone can drive for NASCAR if there good enough

Answer 9

I was going to ask if a black man can be a nascar driver but if danica patrick can race so can u

Answer 10

Yes she can.  If Dale Jr can drive, a girl can drive and beat him regularly.

Answer 11

I was going to answer you, but then I had a look at all the questions you have asked. How many times did you think you really had to ask if you could get pregnant from anal s*x? As if once wasn't enough, but five times ehhh? Also, you have asked if women can be NASCAR drivers before. Apparently you don't really want the answers, you just get bored and ask the same questions over and over.

Answer 12

no college for sure

if she drives the cart good enough then she can move right on up through the ranks

determination and skill

but most important someone to stand behind her and push her to be better every minute

oh yeah no distractions

Answer 13

Yes girls can be drivers. I also like the big change in your profile since you last asked this question.  But I bet that even in racing that there is so such a thrill than to have this worry over with from your questions profile:

Answer 14

lol you have to be born into it...lol 13? No way, you gotta start out earlier then that to get connections. You know how many local race tracks there are with so many leauges...Theres millions of people racing at local track, and most wishing they could be in nascar...And i bet you are 13? your not going to race..You could try and get another type of job in nascar like mechanic or something and hopefully work up to a bigger spot. Your best bet is to do good in high school and go to Nascar technical Institute in North Carolina. Go from there.

Answer 15

You can. Very few NASCAR drivers even go to college. She can go now I think, 18 may be a bit late, just find a team and ask some questions I guess. You don't "qualify", it's like a band, if you get your music noticed and the company likes it, you get signed.

Answer 16

no college....... first of all she has to keep on racing...... she should get more experience with race cars when she gets older..... like here in Indiana we have new Paris & m-40  speedways, which is where ryan newman, david streamie, tony raines, got there start..... they made it to nascar because the owners send out tallent scouts as you would know from other sports..... and they watch the tallent!

yes, a woman can be in nascar..... 88 dominate is right look at chrissy wallace....!

tony stewart started out go cart racing than went on to migets, and than indy cars..... she might not get nascar but she could be the next danica patrick if she sticks with it and makes racing her life.........!

tell her to keep on practicing and maybe her dream will pay off......

there has been busch women drivers...... but they did suck......

it cost al lot of money , for a small chance that you will make it into nascar, but if she is good at 13 someone will eventually see her and offer her a deal.....!

try looking for local tracks in your area......! that is where a lot of the driver got there career in nascar start......!

Answer 17

The answer is YES, but start young enough and work at it hard enough.  I do recall this question only a day or two ago.

Answer 18

yes but it is hard to get into

Danica is holding her own in INDY racing

also look at NHRA there is a few ladies in there also.

look here

http://richardpettydrivingschool.com

you have to be 16 to go thru the process

unless you have a dirt track where she can race and she can at that age..on some tracks go for it

Answer 19

Of course a girl can race in Nascar. It's all about skill not gender. Look at Ashley Force,she's out there beeting all of the guys. I wish my two daughters wanted to be Nascar drivers !

Answer 20

If she has the ability to get a higher education, encourage her to find a more promising career. A more stable career. Don't let her waste an education out of vanity.

Answer 21

Yes go to NASCAR. com and then go to where it tells you about nascar and how it works and it has a whole list o women nascar drivers, when i go to college i want to go to the nascar tech in charolotte so i ave a chance in the nascar business ;)

Answer 22

yes a girl can race in nascar. she dont have to go to college unless she wants to. go carts are a good starting place since thats where most of the drivers started. i think that she would have to keep on doing good enough to a point where someone out there that knows someone in nascar to to come and look at her. and she may not get into nascar right away if she does get notice they uslly have them start off small to make sure they could handle the bigger cars
