    it’s not a cheap sport/hobby to get in to
    most drivers start out very young, racing Karts

    then they race in the local weekend races,
    Modifieds, Late Models, etc

    or sprint cars

    It’s difficult to get sponsors to help with the bills, till you start winning

    if/when you do start to win, you move up to the World Of Outlaws, if you want.
    (the Major League of Sprint Cars)

    then, if you continue to win, one of the big boys, from NA$CAR will bring you into the Nationwide or truck series,
    or you may get a call from the Indy league, if you choose to move up.

    unless you are part of a racing family, or have a LOT of money, this is the way that “almost” every driver has worked their way up.

    Go down to your local weekend race tracks, and talk to the drivers there.
    MOST drivers are happy to help out, and encourage new drivers.
    they realize they need new blood, on the track, to keep the sport healthy

    good luck
