What are the qualifications to get a drag racing job?

The qualifications and skills that you need to get a drag racing job depend on your area of specialization. If you drive during races, you need experience in drag racing. You can gain experience at a racing school or by participating in local drag race events at a sanctioned drag racing track. Mechanics and pit crew members should have a background in auto repair. You can earn an associate degree in auto repair or pursue certification from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Race track personnel typically only need a high school diploma or GED certificate, but some customer service experience is beneficial.
