What is drifting?

Drifting as a job refers to professional motorsport drivers who compete in drifting events, where the goal is to deliberately oversteer and maintain control of a car while it slides sideways through turns. These drivers participate in competitions, demonstrations, and sometimes work as stunt drivers or trainers. The job involves not only driving skills but also understanding vehicle dynamics, performing maintenance, and often securing sponsorships. Drifting professionals may travel to events globally and contribute to the automotive industry through brand partnerships, media appearances, and teaching drifting techniques.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a professional drifting driver?

To thrive as a Professional Drifting Driver, you need advanced vehicle control, racing techniques, and a thorough understanding of car mechanics, often gained through motorsport experience and specialized training. Familiarity with telemetry systems, performance tuning software, and motorsport safety certifications are typically required. Quick decision-making, focus under pressure, and strong communication with pit crews are essential soft skills. These abilities are vital for executing precise maneuvers, maintaining safety, and succeeding in competitive motorsport environments.

What are common challenges faced by professional drifting drivers during competitions?

Professional drift drivers often face challenges such as adapting to different track surfaces, managing tire wear, and maintaining precise vehicle control at high speeds. Consistency in executing complex maneuvers under pressure is crucial, and weather conditions can add an extra layer of difficulty. Additionally, working closely with a support team to fine-tune vehicle setup and strategy is essential for success in competitive drifting.

What is the difference between Drifting vs Towing Operator?

AspectDriftingTowing Operator
Required CredentialsDriver's license, specialized drifting trainingDriver's license, towing certification
Work EnvironmentRace tracks, stunt shows, automotive eventsRoadside, vehicle recovery, towing yards
Industry UsageMotorsports, automotive entertainmentVehicle recovery, roadside assistance

Drifting involves controlled oversteering to slide the car through turns, primarily in motorsports and entertainment settings. Towing operators focus on safely transporting vehicles, often in roadside or recovery scenarios. While both roles require driving skills and licenses, drifting emphasizes performance and stunt driving, whereas towing centers on vehicle recovery and transportation.

Can drifting be a career?

Drifting is primarily a motorsport activity and not a traditional career, but professionals can pursue careers as race car drivers, stunt drivers, or event organizers within the motorsports industry. Success often requires driving skills, sponsorship, and participation in competitions or exhibitions, with opportunities for sponsorships and media appearances.

Do professional drifters make money?

Professional drifters can earn income through sponsorships, prize money from competitions, and event appearances. Earnings vary widely based on skill level, reputation, and success in competitions, with top performers potentially making a substantial income, while many earn modestly or supplement other income sources.

Job description

Automotive Dealership Controller

Freeland Auto Group  |  Nashville, Tennessee

$120,000 – $150,000 + Performance Bonus  |  Dealertrack DMS Preferred  |  Relocation Assistance Available

Freeland Auto Group is hiring a Controller to lead accounting for both of our rooftops — Freeland Chevrolet and Freeland CDJR — in Nashville, Tennessee.

This is a strategic seat, not a back-office one. You will own the numbers and the conversations about them: partnering with leadership to turn financial results into decisions. When a gross does not look right or a department is drifting, you are the person who spots it, explains it, and helps fix it.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation: $120,000–$150,000 base salary and opportunity for company performance bonus. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.

Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; short- and long-term disability; 401(k) with match; paid vacation and paid time off; employee discounts; professional development support.

What You'll Own
  • Month-end and year-end close across both rooftops
  • Financial statement preparation and OEM submissions for both GM and Stellantis — two reporting packages, two sets of requirements
  • Reconciliation of vehicle inventory, floorplan, receivables, payables, and cash, with clean, current schedules
  • Accurate accounting for vehicle sales, trades, incentives, rebates, and OEM programs
  • Leadership and development of a 7-person accounting team
  • Budgets, forecasts, and financial projections built alongside leadership
  • Internal controls that protect company assets and hold up under review
What You Need

Required

  • Dealership Controller or Office Manager experience running a dealership accounting office
  • Fluency in dealership financial statements and OEM reporting
  • Experience managing and developing accounting staff
  • Strong Excel skills

Preferred

  • Dealertrack DMS experience
  • Multi-rooftop or multi-franchise experience
  • Exposure to more than one OEM reporting package
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA a plus
Why Freeland

We are a family-owned group with nearly 100 years of automotive history located in Middle Tennessee, and we are still investing — in our stores, our people, our technology, and our processes.

Our philosophy is simple: Where People Matter. That applies to the accounting office as much as the showroom floor. The Controller here has real visibility with ownership and real influence over how the business runs.

All inquiries are confidential. We know the strongest candidates are currently employed, and we will treat your interest that way. We are moving quickly.

EEOC Statement:

Freeland Auto is committed to equal employment opportunity. We will not discriminate against employees or applicants for employment on any legally recognized basis including, but not limited to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or veteran status.
