Tricky, But IMPORTANT!!!

Question

I am 13 years old and I want to become a GIRL NASCAR driver when I am older. I am very competive and not afriad to race with the guys. But how much is all the equipment I have to get when I am older probably when I am around 18 or 19 maybe even younger. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Race go-carts now. I know tires are like 1700 each. Im not sure about the cars. Race go carts though, get spotted by someone, and then money wont matter.

Answer 2

welcome to the nation young lady and you should keep your good attitude up and it will come to you.  you should get into go karting to start with if youre not already.

Answer 3

It expensive to drive a race car no matter what series you'll just have to talk to some one who drives and ask them i no to run a Sprint Cup car and were talking just the car its like 2-3 million.

Answer 4

I am afraid it is going to take a lot more than having a next door neighbor who workl for M&M's and a sister's boyfriend who is the manager of a McDonalds as your connections...and going to a local track and riding go carts as you have stated in a previous question...

Answer 5

Try hanging out at your local track whenever you can.  You can get to know people and learn a lot. Maybe even start Kart racing from there.  Get yourself noticed and known, maybe somebody will give you a chance to race and prove yourself.  Never give up on your dream, but don't forget to chase it either.  It won't land in your lap if you just sit there.  Good luck to you.

Answer 6

1. Run local tracks, and dominate them -- whether it's go karts, or late models, or another chassis (If your not very good on the local level, you probably won't be on a National one...nor would you be able to get a good ride). This would be the best time to find a decent sponsor to help you move up to the next level.

2. Move up to a bigger series that travels around (If you can afford it...it would be best to look around for sponsors, and show them that you can win races, so they will sponsor you)

3. Move up again, this time to the biggest series when you realize your competitive with the best...perhaps on dirt (Such as WoO Late Model Series)

4. See if you can get a ride in the Hooters Pro Cup Series (asphalt)

5. If your good in Hooters Pro Cup, you might be offered a ride in the Camping East or West series, and get a developmental contract with a top NASCAR team such as JGR or DEI. This is the best series to really get a good contract and prove your value to the teams.

6. If you were one of the lucky few to get a developmental contract, you basically have a free ride to Nationwide when you turn 18...or when they feel it is right, if you continue to prove yourself

7. Show that you have what it takes to run with the big boys in Nationwide, and then you should have no trouble getting into the Sprint Cup. The hard part is getting far enough to get into Nationwide. But if you were that lucky/skilled, a Sprint Cup ride is not to far.

8. Good Luck! If you're good enough, and get noticed sooner, you will probably be able to skip a couple of those s teps and get started in NASCAR at a younger age.

Answer 7

At my track you have to be at least 15 to race in most divisions.  Legends cars start younger as do mini- sprints.  

I get my equipment on-line because we don't have a lot of race shops here in town- I use these sites mostly-

http://www.summitracing.com/

https://www.rsracing.com/

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/

I got my fire suit here-

http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net...

Just look at the prices of things.  For fun go to a short track website and print the rules for a division you are interested in.  Then highlight all the equipment it says is mandatory and then highlight all the recommended equipment.  Make a list of EVERYTHING you need and then go to these web sites to find out how much it costs.  You need lots of little things too that you might forget.  Foe example, you will want a quick disconnect on your steering wheel to make it easier to get in and out this coast about $20 i think.  All the little odds and ends add up BUT they last forever unlike a fire suit or seatbelt so its mostly a one time cost.  I broke down some prices for you earlyer so that should help but check out these sites i gave you they will really help you get a notion of what to expect price wise.  Good Luck!  

Answer 8

sorry to burst your bubble but chrissy wallace has the name money and experience and her chances are slim you pretty much ave a better shot at winning the lottery so start taking some cooking classes some sewing lessons and make a man proud.

Answer 9

Find some small tracks around your house and start going to them.  Get to know people, learn all you can about the sport. 13 is a good age to start making friends at the small tracks.  Get to know everyone there from the drivers, pit crews, crowds & even the workers. Become a staple at the track, make sure everyone knows exactly what you want to do when you grow up.  People will notice, make it happen.

Getting noticed and getting a ride are pretty darn hard to do BUT be persistent, you can do anything you set your mind to.  Good Luck!
