    keep dreaming driver. Almost all their haulers are members of the pit crew. Here's an article from 05.The driver featured in this article is also on the gas can. I brought some courtesy cars to Fontana and talked to a few of the haulers. Your daddy must own the race team if he can get you on and they run teams.

    Money isn't my only motivator but with the NASCAR job he said $30,000+ first year the more work I'm willing to do outside the truck the more money I can make. Which is comparable with OTR but could be quite a bit less.

    Big things don't scare me lol:biggrin_2559: well at least mine doesn't ROTFLMAO

    #1 I never said anything about a team, all I said was NASCAR hauler as in any vehicle pulling a car/truck that races in one of the NASCAR series!
    #2 My dad don't own squat lol

    seeing as you want to be a pain in the butt or are trying to say that I'm full of you know what: My dad Pulls one of the NASCAR Experience Car Hauler's he doesn't drive for any race team. He drives SOLO!

    The job(s) that I have a chance to get would be doing the same thing he is doing, one opportunity is the same company my dad works for and the other one is another one of the NASCAR experience schools. there are lots of them.

    lol I can see what job you would choose!

    It wouldn't be for a "Team", it would be for one of the NASCAR Experience schools and yes pay starts at just $30,000 a year. And there not at the track for the races they get to the track before the race do there thing all week on the track and then leave as the race starts and head to the next track. They also don't fallow the same schedule as the races. But ONE of the two jobs would give me a 1 1/2 month break every fall and the other would be Full time year around.

    But like I was saying about moving up my dad talked to someone who works for a TEAM at the track on Thursday and gave him a name and number to the person that might be able to get him in the door driving for a TEAM. Fingers crossed he'll get the job.

    My former brother-in-law was an NFL football player who was a tire changer on a NASCAR pit crew when the scheduling worked out. The point? He was just a lowly grunt (in the racing world), but boy howdy did even THAT level of hired help get taken care of. The experiences he had were pretty amazing.

    Just sayin'
