It reminds me of back years ago, there were many 'modeling agencies' around for pretty kids/teens to go to to learn 'how to model'and it costs LOTS of money. My neice went to one of these and realized later, it was expensive and you could get modeling gigs on your own, but it was difficult.<BR/><BR/>However, it ended up opening many opportunities for small acting gigs for my neice..which of course, led to 'acting classes'...lather, rinse, repeat...but she is very successful today as a business woman. So it helped her confidence but that's different than driving a race car which is expensive as a kid and more so as an adult.<BR/><BR/>The modeling school, was not through the roof expensive but many such agencies are and that's what this "NASCAR SCHOOL" sounds like. I am shocked NASCAR allows their name to be connected to this outfit.<BR/><BR/>Would be interested to see some REAL investigative piece on this and how the folks from SPEED and NASCAR can be a part of this??Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68002063863317732352008-05-07T15:52:00.000-04:002008-05-07T15:52:00.000-04:00Isn't it amazing what parents will go through to c...Isn't it amazing what parents will go through to cash cow their children for the future. I have lovely ocean view property here in Wisconsin that I could sell these parents. Why didn't any red flags pop up for them when they read the 10% take for five years portion of the contract? They obviously didn't research this group and realize that they're going to be taken for a ride of their lives, and not in a Nascar vehicle.<BR/><BR/>This segment could have been a real career plus for Mr Smith had he taken things further. Even though ESPN is known for their sensationalizing everything, they were very conservative here. It would have made great TV if they could have exposed this organization as a scam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-54179586099084590442008-05-07T12:24:00.000-04:002008-05-07T12:24:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link JD. 5% of your earnings for a ...Thanks for the link JD. 5% of your earnings for a minimum of 5 years if you turn pro?<BR/><BR/>If they do manage to turn out the next Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson etc., that's a lot of money. I doubt it will happen.

There are plenty of things in the history of at least one of these individuals (based on my knowledge) that would *beg* to be researched...other unsuccessful enterprises and mislead people that I don't think it would have been hard for Smith to find.
