FOUR SPOTS TO BE AWARDED IN DRIVER TALENT SEARCH
SACRAMENTO, California - The national talent search for the driver development
program conducted by Ron Sutton's Winner's Circle launches today. Supporting
sponsors, K&N Filters and Sunoco Racing Fuels will be awarding four free spots
in the 2009 Talent Search Shoot-Out to young, talented drivers from various
forms of motorsports, with one going to a racer with a Legends or Dwarf Car
racing background.
Many successful car racers today, honed their driving skills driving Legends or
Dwarf Cars. K&N Filters and Sunoco Racing Fuels have stepped up to award a
position in the Shoot-Out to one young racer with a successful background in any
of the recognized Legends or Dwarf Car racing series. The Shoot-Out application
process is open to all drivers 11 to 19 years of age, with race winning
backgrounds.
RSWC has seen talented drivers come from the Legend and Dwarf Car ranks,
including NASCAR Late Model star Jace Meier. The talented Meier competed in
Legends car action at the famed Las Vegas Bull Ring before being brought into
the RSWC program. Since then, Jace had nothing but success claiming pole
positions, trophy dash wins and main event victories in the USAC Ford Focus
Midgets series. Meier then was put into the NASCAR Late Model stock car series
where he also won poles, races, the Rookie of the Year award and second place in
the NASCAR Late Model Stock Car series championship in his first season.
Ron Sutton's Winner's Circle (RSWC) is an established talent scout and
development program, providing long term, comprehensive racing and career
development for up and coming drivers focused on NASCAR careers. RSWC drivers
are raced, coached, groomed, trained and molded, within a professional racing
environment, into what top teams look for when hiring drivers.
The Shoot-Out process is designed to identify talented, young, up and coming
drivers from across the United States and Canada with the talent, potential and
commitment to achieve a driving career in NASCAR. RSWC is currently accepting
resumes through September 30th, 2009. RSWC expects to receive over 700 resumes,
as they have in the past, and narrow it down to approximately 40 drivers to
test. The Shoot-Out is conducted in early October, in three types of race cars,
on a California paved short oval track.
Sutton has said, “We’re not looking for a number. We are looking for young
talent that has real potential to go all the way to NASCAR Sprint Cup.” Day
one of the Shoot-Out includes a seminar for parents and drivers, "The Real World
Good, Bad & Ugly of Driver Career Development" and a training course for drivers
on driving strategies, expectations and terminology. Three separate tests for
the young drivers include body fat fitness, a written problem solving test and
psychological analysis.
Days two and three are on track, with drivers getting five 20-lap sessions on
track, with coaching, to show their talent. Judges evaluate the drivers on 45
points, with the key areas being coachability, accurate feedback, focus,
motivation, training retention, communication skills, personality,
aggressiveness, learning rate, confidence and lap times.
The talented drivers selected for the RSWC development program through the
Shoot-Out will have a training program designed specifically for their age,
experience and development stage, then be placed with a top team in the racing
series that fits best, including various classes in USAC and NASCAR series.
The career development program consists of 12 veteran driver coaches, 24
classroom topics and eight organizations fielding 24 race teams, all dedicated
to develop drivers in the RSWC program. The teams are a balance of Open Wheel
and Stock Car oval track race teams, with Road Racing added, to develop highly
versatile and accomplished winning drivers.
Young winning drivers ages 11 to 19, and their parents, are encouraged to get
all the information and answers to common questions from the web-site, then
submit their resume in time to be considered. The web-site is
