What education or training do you need to become a Nascar driver?

Answer 1

A successful track record literally is the first and most important step in becoming a Nascar driver. Teams are always on the lookout for established drivers with consistent top 10 finishes. Sponsorship is the other huge factor.

Answer 2

You don't need a traditional education. You just have to be able to drive very fast.

There is no education needed. Basically, to drive in Nascar's top series, the Sprint Cup, you will need a lot of talent and money. If drivers have an extreme amount of talent, they can move up the Nascar ranks (ARCA & Nationwide Series). Then they might have a chance if a Sprint Cup owner sees them and can find a sponsor for them. If the driver has a lot of money, he could try to fund his own team. But without them getting someone to sponsor their car, they would only be able to drive for so long. With the economy the way it is, there are not a lot of new drivers going into the Cup Series these days.

Answer 3

So you wanna join NASCAR...

EXPERIENCE....EXPERIENCE.....EXPERIENCE. that's what you need. People don't just start racing in the busch series or in the nextel cup. They've been racing since they were really young. like 6 or 7. It usually starts with go carts. and then when you grow up into your teens, its usually local racing....like dirt tracks and racing modifieds.(type of car) From there if they catch the eye of car owners or if you happen to have 100 grand, you can build your own car or get signed. From modifieds to most likely trucks. or an amatuer-ish form of stock car racing. Then from there IF YOURE LUCKY you can get start racing busch. Most drivers start when they out grow diapers. So if youre 30 and thinking of NASCAR....you've missed out on 24 years of experience. HOWEVER if you happen to have SOME experience....not a little but SOME, you can join nascar by having tons of money....and obtaining a NASCAR license

Is 12 years old to old to start

Answer 4

There are no educational requirements to become a NASCAR driver. However, in order to be cleared to compete in a NASCAR sanctioned event, one must demonstrate that he or she is capable to run a safe, competent race. This is usually done by gaining at least minimal experience on comparable tracks in lower-tiered NASCAR series.
