NASCAR Lowers Driving Age to 14


Yeah, you read that right. NASCAR is lowering the minimum age for their entry level series to 14 years old. Amazing.

Amazing since I don't know where in this country you can obtain a driver's license at 14. Kids that age are still in junior high school. They can't grow facial hair, still watch "Land Before Time" movies and can barely get into PG-13 flicks.

Or they can learn how to drive hundreds of miles per hour with other teens. Whelen All-American Series will issue learner's permits for under-age drivers who qualify at NASCAR-sanctioned tracks starting in 2010.

I get what they are trying to do here. Getting these kids started as early as they can ensures a better driver sooner and NASCAR gets to help guide them. Yeah, the legal driving age is higher than 14 but the kids who take advantage of this have driven different kinds of vehicles at some point in their life.
