I understand what your saying. I enjoy stock car racing and would love to start (I'm only 16) but I know how pricey it could get and want to do it on my own with a little help from my mom. I'd suggest sitting down with your parents and seriously talk to them about this. Ask them if you could get a job to help pay for some of the expenses (if you feel you could work) and go from there. I keep hearing it's better to start young. So I wish you luck and hope you achieve what you want. Oh and don't ever stop believing in yourself-whether you start know or 10 years from now at least you'll know you tried!

Start small. Most local tracks have an entry level that requires a modest investment. They may be call Factory Stock, Detroit Iron, Street Stocks or Bombers. Go to the track you think you'd like to compete at and check them out. Get a copy of the rules because they differ from track to track. As you improve with experience you can move up in class and perhaps acquire a sponsor. Remember, no business wants to advertise on an also-ran car, so keep it pretty and don't do anything to embarrass the sponsor. Good luck!

Nascars a huge sport. I think you'd do a lot of business, personally I hate nascar so I wouldn't go but other people would probable love it.

Get a licence\nIn Britain, from January 1 this year, the licensing rules were changed and every driver wishing to contest stage rallies now has to hold a Stage Rally Competition Licence.\n\nComplete novices will have to complete a BARS (British Association of Rally schools) course and apply to British rallying's governing body, the MSA, for a "Go Rallying Pack". For £39 you will receive an MSA Competitors' yearbook, a novice application and a video on rallying.\n\nThe next step is attending one of the 10 registered BARS schools for a 15-minute theory test and a driving test lasting roughly 10 minutes. If you successfully pass both, you can send off your application and a 'National B' status licence will be yours.\n\nThe National B licence\nThis piece of paper is your gateway to the various national rally championships at clubman level. Alternatively you could join a one-make series, of which there are currently four in the UK run by Peugeot, Ford and Volkswagen.\n\nThere are advantages to both but with a one-make series you will learn fast and compete against people at your level. A full season in a one-make series will be relatively cost effective and coupled with that you have the back-up of a manufacturer and skilled personnel at your disposal. Indeed, reigning world rally champion, Richard won Peugeot's one-make series, the Peugeot Challenge in 1991.\n\nPeugeot Sport boss, Mick Linford offers his words of advice: "My own point of view is that a one-make championship is a very level playing field. You go into the championship knowing that everything is down to your driving.\n\n"To anyone wanting to get started in rallying, get as many events under your belt as you can. Nothing beats experience. Also build up that experience with a regular co-driver."\n\nThe next step\nPlayStation gamers will think this is a little like Gran Turismo because once you've competed successfully at National B level, the next step-up licence wise is the 'National A', which you can upgrade to after contesting four of the 'National B' events.\n\nThis opens up a whole new world of rallying with access to national championships such as ANCRO or BTRDA and the British Rally Championship (BRC).\n\nThe BRC has traditionally been the step-up to world rallying and a talent spotters' paradise. Four-time world champion Tommi Makinen is a past competitor in a Nissan and Colin McRae stepped-up from the Scottish Championship to the British series winning in 1991 and '92.\n\n"The championship is Britain's premier series geared up to give any talented driver, in any class of car, the chance to win," says Mark Taylor, championship manager for the BRC.\n\n"It's held over seven qualifying rounds and is a mixture of demanding, high-quality tarmac and gravel events. Drivers with Super 1600, WRC or Production cars can gain experience of top-class, competitive rallying and the top team managers view any BRC champion as a potential star of the future."\n\nFor budding Finnish rally drivers, the Finnish Championship is also a breeding ground for future WRC talent. Marcus Gronholm and Harri Rovanpera are among the successful graduates who have made the transition to the world stage.\n\nBut also remember that while you are talented, you don't necessarily have to be in the best car to get yourself noticed. Ford's young gun for the 2002 season Markko Martin was originally spotted driving a Lada in the Estonian Rally Championship.\n\nAnd for some world rally debuts are lucky breaks. Quite literally for Norwegian Petter Solberg who replaced Thomas Radstrom on the Safari Rally when the Ford driver broke his leg!\n\nCareer swaps?\nYou don't have to start your career in rallying either. Carlos Sainz was a Formula Ford driver before he switched his allegiance to rallying, Belgian ace Francois Duval started out in karting and Petter Solberg was a rallycrosser.\n\nBut what

Charlotte should be the spot. So much NASCAR history is around there, and even though I love Daytona, I am happy with Charlotte. :)

wow!  your son really does have a lot of talent.  My stepdad was once a racer and almost got into NASCAR.  Here is how you do it:\nStart off by allowing him to race at small local events such as in racecarts, 4 wheelers, etc.  As he gets more experience, move him to more difficult situations such as a regional hotrod derby and other things that require more skill, etc.  Then, when he is 16, allow him to drive.  At this point, he could start driving like in actual car races.  As he moves up on the ladder of experience, make sure people notice him.  Put his picture in the newspaper, bring out a local news team, etc.  Get his face out to the public!  At one of his competitions, you should ask like one of the judges about getting into a NASCAR audition race (something like that for people who want to get into it) and then allow him to race in it.  If he's good enough at it, as I suspect he will be if you follow all of the above mentioned steps, he will surely get into it, and will start racing proffesionally.  Have fun!

I don't know about Australia, but I'm here in Korea and I've just become a driver for a Pro Kart team trying to get as much seat time as I can.. and that's really what you need. Seat time, it dosen't matter what type of driving. From there you'll meet people with different contacts in the racing world. And just keep talking about rally. I know in America there's a feeder program called RallyCross, but I dunno if there's anything like that in Australia.

I don't know, I'd like to drive though, you can be my mechanic ...if you're good.  There are special schools but I think they cost quite a bit.  Here's one I ran across coming back from Charllotte yesterday.  \n\nwww.motorsportsintern.com

You need to get a racing liscense. You will have to complete a 3-day racing school. Doesn't matter how good you are, you'll have to be liscensed. It's all about insurance.\n\nCheck out:\nPanoz Racing School\nBob Bondurant Racing School\nSkip Barber Racing School

Go to the website www.nascar.com.  You will find a website for Dale Earnhardt Jr., try to get in contact with someone that way.  If that does not work look in your TV Schedule, the races are on Fox right now, and TNT, find their address and mail them a letter.  Spend less than $4 and have it Certified, that might help.  Tell them Your situation and see if they can either pass on the information, or give You an address to contract Him.  Also if You could find a phone number for DEI Incorporated, by calling 1-800-555-1212 that might help.  That is who He races for, his Stepmother owns it.  Stay Strong, and please everyone pray for them, I will.  God Bless and Good Luck\n\nHope You are still Monitoring Your Question.  My Dad just started subscribing Nascar Scene for Me.  There is a page devoted to questions.  The address is \nNascar Scene\n120 W.

I'm sorry, but I have not heard of any available NASCAR fanclubs for Austrailian fans. I live in the USA, so I'm afraid I can't help much. However, I would encourage you to teach your fellow Austrailian friends about NASCAR racing and get them interested in it. Then, maybe you all can start your own club!\n\nP.S. Your screen name looks like you're a Tony Stewart fan! Same here!!!!!! He's my #1 favorite driver!

Try going 300 times in a racecar on the track. You will be lucky if you can stand the pressure on you mind and body for 100 of those. It is physical activity. Try it some time- go to the Richard Petty Drivers School or one like it. You will change your mind fast. As far as being a "sport" it is more demanding than football or basketball or baseball. Try it before you knock it. As far as the other posters- you do not know what you are talking about.
