Tips on becomming a race car driver?

Question

I've been interested in being a race car driver for several years, now I'm very serious about it but don't know where to start, and have no experience. Plus I'm a girl. My dream (distant future) is to drive for Nascar, I know it would take a LOT of hard work, dedication and time to build up to that point, and I know it's a long shot that I ever reach that dream. BUT can anyone give me tips on where to begin and what to do to pursue my dream? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I can tell you where not to start.

DON'T start at Indianapolis motor speedway using goodyear tires.

Answer 2

First you will need to get a car.  No experience, you will need to get your own car.  

You should also go get some training such as the school at Richard Petty racing.

Than you need to qualify to race.  Enter as may races as you can and get noticed as a good driver.

No one starts as NASCAR but with a little determination, you'll get there.  Watch Danika Patrick, she has an interest in NASCAR.  She's d**n good at open wheel.  I hope someone will give he a chance.

Women has come a long way in racing.  Go for your dream and maybe someday I'll be watching you race.

Answer 3

Secure your dollars and drive fast.

Answer 4

visit your local tracks and talk to the people there and with other drivers and ask questions and get advice...remember though it takes money and cars, crews and dedication...if you get a chance to drive for any of them..make a name by clean hard racing and just maybe a scout will see you..

GOOD LUCK!

Remember one thing..Never Give Up A Dream!

Answer 5

start racing go karts.

& you'll need money.

karts cost money (the better the more it costs) & it costs to get into the tracks & to race.

just get good in go karts, & then someone might notice you & you'll be able to move up until you finally reach the nascar level.

& it wouldn't hurt to have some connections.
