NASCAR Tech School

NASCAR stands for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. It began in 1948, and has become the number one spectator sport in the US. In fact, more Fortune 500 companies participate in NASCAR than in any other sport. It’s not hard to imagine the number of opportunities out there for NASCAR mechanics, especially with over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 38 states, Canada, and Mexico. But how do you become a NASCAR mechanic? You don’t need to go to one of many large, expensive colleges and complete one of many degrees. You need to attend a NASCAR tech school and undergo extensive training.

NASCAR Tech School Training
Working for NASCAR requires specific training, including learning about engine repair, fuel systems, ignition systems, power trains, brakes, transmissions, electronics and diagnostic equipment, and sometimes even racing theory. There’s a high standard for these cars--they are the ultimate high performance vehicles. Considering the dangerous nature of race car driving, these cars need to be in top condition at all times.

Employers often hire people straight from NASCAR tech schools, although even for these graduates it is highly competitive since some employers will only consider the top 1% of graduates.

To boost your chances, take some basic automotive technology training before attending a NASCAR tech school, or study related fields at a number of colleges which offer courses and degrees in mechanical engineering or mathematics. Make sure to check on the college’s curriculum first, since some NASCAR tech schools do offer all these courses as part of the overall program.
