Question by David S: Do You Think Johanna Long Will Win A truck Race Before Danica Patrick Wins One in NASCAR?
What do you think of her odds of winning including her surprise run at Texas Friday night before she was taken out by Kvapil wrecking across the start finishing line? I think she could win one because she already won in a full body stock car while Danica does not.

I don’t think so. I like Johanna but she just hasn’t raced against the caliber of drivers that she does now. Danica races against the best in IndyCar. Danica might not be that great on road courses but she’s awesome on an oval. She actually adapted to stock cars faster than I thought.

They have done roughly the same amount of races, Danica 18 races in Nationwide and Johanna 16 in Trucks. Johanna doesn’t even have a top 10 yet while Danica has 1 top 5 and 2 top 10s and that’s not racing every single week and with more competition. Also better equipment doesn’t hurt either for Danica. So have to remember Danica had to learn everything about a stock car, this year she’s competitive.

Johanna just needs better equipment and probably a better team. Danica has the equipment and the natural talent to race on an oval, so she just had to adapt to a stock car.

Question by Sam L: How do NASCAR racers get their start?
With baseball, there’s little league, highschool, minor league, etc.

With football, there’s the same, except with more of a focus on college bar.

Etc.

My question is what is the average background of a NASCAR driver? I’m assuming that under-18 drivers aren’t cruising in the stock car, but they have to start SOMEWHERE.

So…anyone got an answer?

Usually they would start young as well. Perhaps go kart racing or dirt bike racing. When they start getting around 13 or 14, they may venture into a micro sprint, which is a sprint car with a big dirt bike motor. Usually around 16 they would start running asphalt or dirt late models. Then with proven ability, car owners from series such as: ASA, World of Outlaws, ARCA, Whelen modifieds, may give them a chance. Then owners from higher up series like Crafstman truck, Nationwide may give them the shot. Then to get to Sprint is up to the driver and how well he/she may perform.

Question by Junior: How do I become a successful race car driver in F1, NASCAR, rally, or indycar?
I’m 14 years old living in America, and Ive taken an interest in racing. Is it too late for me to start karting. First, how to I get into championships and how do I get sponsors? Second, what route do I take to get noticed by better sponsors? Third, how much money do I have to invest, and do I have to go to a racing school?

You know the old saying, to make a small fortune in racing, you have start with a large fortune. And yes, you’re pretty late, especially for open wheel racing, where years of kart racing experience is pretty much mandatory. My advice is to buy a used race car for some local short track racing, something like a bomber or showroom stock class, the car would only set you back a couple grand, but there are expenses like entry fees, spare parts, inspections, repairs, tires, and logistical expenses. To go racing for a season plan on spending around $ 5k-$ 8k or so. Chances are you won’t make enough in race winnings to turn a profit or even come close. This is where sponsorship comes in, if you are successful you may gain local sponsors, this money will hopefully offset the expenses incurred during the season. Get enough sponsorship and do well enough in the races, then at some point you may move up to late model stock where the purses get bigger, the competition gets harder, and the expenses get greater as well.

Before you do any of this, it wouldn’t hurt to have your skills evaluated by a professional or a driver with a lot of experience, usually these are the type of folks who are instructors at Skip Barber schools and places like that, they’ll let you know where you stand.
