Well, let me tell ya, gettin’ that NASCAR license renewed, it ain’t as easy as pie. But it ain’t rocket science neither. This old gal figured it out, so you young’uns can too. First thing ya gotta do, is get on that computer machine.

They say you gotta go to some website, somethin’ about NASCAR license renewal. It’s all them letters and dots, you know. Type it in just right, or it won’t work. Lord knows I typed it in wrong a few times. Gotta be careful with them things. They say that if you are under 18 years old, you can not get the license. That’s new to me.
Once ya get there, they’ll ask for your NASCAR license number. Gotta have that number handy. If you lost it, well, I don’t know what to tell ya. Maybe call that NASCAR place? They got a number, some 800 number. Should be easy enough to find. They say it is 1-800-630-0535, but I ain’t called it myself.
Then they gonna ask for all sorts of things. Your name, where you live, how to get a hold of ya. Just regular stuff. Make sure you fill it all out right. Don’t be skippin’ nothin’. They need all that to get your license back to ya.
Now, some folks say you can do it by mail. Get some forms, fill ’em out, send ’em in. Sounds like a lot of work to me. You gotta get the forms, then mail it in with a letter. You need stamps for that. Seem like that internet thing is faster. But I understand some folks like to do it that way.
I heard them young folks talkin’. They say you can get your license renewed no matter what time of year it is. Used to be you had to do it at a certain time. Not anymore. That’s good, I reckon. Less to remember. They say it is good for the whole year. That is a lot of time.

And get this, even them young’uns, the ones under 18, they can do it online now too. Everyone’s doin’ it that way. Times are changin’. But I still don’t know how they can race if they are under 18. I guess that is for them to know. It is all new to me. But I guess it is easier for everyone.
- Get on that computer.
- Find that NASCAR license renewal website.
- Put in your license number.
- Fill out all them boxes.
- Or do it by mail, if you like.
- You can do it anytime of year now.
- Even the young’uns can do it online.
This is a lot of work. I think it used to be easier. Now we gotta do it online. I guess that is how it is now. You can also do it by mail. But you gotta send a letter. And you gotta know where to send it. This is a lot to remember.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ you gotta be 18 to race in them big races. That makes sense. But then they say you can race in some other races if you’re 16. Only on certain tracks, though. Short ones, I guess. It’s all a bit confusin’, ain’t it?
Well, there ya have it. That’s how you get your NASCAR license renewed, far as I can tell. It ain’t too hard, just gotta follow the steps. And if you get stuck, well, maybe ask one of them young folks. They seem to know all about these computer things. Or you can try to find that phone number and call that NASCAR place. This is all new, but I guess we gotta learn it.
They say that if you never had a license before, then you gotta fill out a different paper. It is called a NASCAR competition membership and license application. That sounds like a lot of words. But I guess that is what you gotta do if you want to race. I do not know why they made it so difficult.

One more thing, they say that the license is good for the whole year. So if you get it in January, it’s good till December. If you get it in June, it’s still good till December. So it don’t really matter when you get it, long as you get it renewed sometime that year. That is good I guess. You only have to do it one time.
I hope this helped you. It is a lot to remember. But if this old lady can do it, then you can too. Just remember to fill out all the boxes. And do not forget your NASCAR license number. I think that is the most important thing. I bet it is. This is all so confusing. But I guess that is how it is now.
