NASCC Marshal School
Remember watching racing can fun but being part of the race is even better. So if you are not racing come-out and be a Volunteer Marshal the second best way to watch a race, the best way is to be in the car.
My favorite way to volunteer is as a track-side marshal/corner worker. Road course marshals are race personnel that surround the road course track at specified stations that communicate to drivers with flags and each other on radios. These are a committed group of volunteers that with training and experience, can become qualified to work the big professional races like Indycar & Formula 1.
