    I doubt you’ll see this but I’m 17 I’ve always had the thought in the back of my mind to race nascar but I’ve never had the money or any idea on how to even start racing and so I kinda gave up on it for a while, but recently I’ve really felt like it’s something I should really try to do and I know I’m good at figuring out Motorsport, I may not be the fastest but from my little experience with racing sims and driving in real life on back roads with my friends, I learn very quick, the second time driving my buddies 350z I slid it for a second in the back of a parking lot before we went out, while we were driving up the mountain I sent it around a corner a little to hard on the breaks and the back end came loose, and just from that few minutes in the parking lot I instantly knew how to save the car and keep on going, and in my own car (fwd piece of junk lol) on the way up the mountain I was very slow and couldn’t get a grip on the fwd driving dynamics, but on the at down it just clicked, rotate the car off throttle then pull it through the corner on throttle, by the end of the day I was leading everyone instead of being left by everyone. Anyways, I’m afraid I’m a bit too late to start racing in a series like nascar, like I know there’s cheap cars, but when I do things I like to go big and I feel like racing as a hobby would be cool (obviously I know you don’t just jump Into a cup car) but it being a job would be insane... any thoughts.

I’m that one straight A student who’s on the math team and other academic after school groups. You see, the first day I ever raced was when I was 7. I had a friend who’s dad worked at a car shop and had modified some go carts to go up to 35 mph. We raced around our development and I felt on top of the world. It’s the best feeling I’ll ever get.

Also, many who have self-funding don't pursue sponsorship and then their career is over before it hardly even gets started. The sooner you can secure sponsorship and funding to go race, the better.

I know it would be difficult to pass up the opportunity to drive a cup car, but I wonder would you have been better staying down in Xfinity in a quality ride vs the cup car where you're clearly better than the equipment you're driving. I certainly hope you get a better cup ride or a top Xfinity or truck ride where you can run up front weekly.

    I just turned 19 I've been into nascar since I can remember I used to always watched it with my grandpa. I have always wanted to start racing but my only problem is I dont know where to get started as I live in a dead area there is a dirt track called lonestar speedway but there's no go kart tracks around me. Do u think I could go straight into dirt track and progress from there?

    Step one: Check The other steps will be difficult. Racing is an expensive sport, to run go karts will cost you a pretty penny depending how into it you get. Hopefully one day I'll be able to move up to the next level of racing. But overall the vast majority of us need to realize that there is already thousands of people trying to get into the Nascar series. You could be the most skilled driver and never make it to Nascar for the simple fact of how hard it is to get recognized. Best of luck to everyone trying, and remember whether or not you do make it to Nascar just know that racing will always be a part of who you are and just because you don't make it to the top that doesn't mean you have to stop.
