How to Be Patient with NHRA Racing Sponsors

Video Transcript

TINA STULL: Hi, I'm Tina Stull and I drive the Top Dragster for Interstate Batteries. On behalf of Expert Village, today, we're going to talk about the basics of racing. You also need to make sure that your sponsors don't have any conflict of interest. Where if they sell the same product, that might be a problem. But all of this builds up over time and if you go out tomorrow and do an event, don't be discouraged if you don't see something happen right away. It takes a long time. A lot of times, I don't see the results of maybe an event that I've done until I am back in that area the following year. And that's when I meet kids coming up and saying, "Hey, I remember you from last year. Do you remember me?" And there are the little opportunities. Talking at the track, there are a lot of times where people come, they're interested in the sport; obviously, they wouldn't be there but they might be a little intimidated. You're a driver and to them, you might be the biggest celebrity that they've ever met. So you need to be a little bit more open, maybe make yourself a little more vulnerable to speaking with people and talking with them and sharing a little bit about your one-on-one experience in racing.
