every so often they are posted on job site like climbto350, but they seem to be in very high demand and very competitive. i haven't seen any posted for the dab area but you might just need to leave riddle to get a job.

Yeah, and a lot of them just charter an airplane for the crews. Quite a few of the drivers also fly so they can afford to own and fly themselves too. There might be a couple with their own aircraft, but I'd bet it's cheaper to charter for them at least.

Someone else, and I can't remember who it is, has a few Saab 2000's. Few others use Brasilia's, and of course the standards such as King-Airs and Hawkers.

Have known a couple guys who fly for NASCAR teams and it is a mixed bag. The bigger teams typically have the best aircraft and the small teams....well, like I said, it's a mixed bag. Plan on being on the road a LOT! Best bet is to get over to the airport near a race and start talking to the guys who are doing it now. Good luck.

I understand that the bulk of the flying positions are with individual teams that have flight departments mostly in NASCAR heaven; however, I'm interested in the NASCAR Aviation department.
