A degree in engineering would be a good place to start. It would give you the knowledge needed to design, fabricate, and, build just about anything you would need for a race car. Ryan Newman has a degree in engineering, and, so did Alan Kulwicki. They are just 2 examples, it would be an advantage in any type of motorsports. There are also plenty of schools that teach high performance engine building too.

Probably not. Less than 1% of drivers actually get a full ride. You're better off going to law school if you want to race. Those guys typically have a healthy race budget. It's really a lot of your own work time and money. That's just racing. We all do it. There is no magical means of support for most of us. However, you can race with a small budget. It really depends on where you live and what you want to race. Rally and Auto cross are really cheap. Hill climb events in some states are cheap and so is drag racing. You just need a car. Look into something like "Chump Car" or "24 hours of Lemons" http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/ http://www.chumpcar.com/ Split the cost with a few of your good friends.

Auto racing is a rich mans sport and a poor mans addiction, worse than Alcohol or Heroin, and 100 times more expensive. hope you get a good collage education with a viable job and pay if you plan to race in the world of top tier motor sports.

You need to have some connections in the sport then that are willing to give you a chance at any level. Go to local tracks and talk around in the garage area and see if anyone would be willing to put you in a car.

Well, there's always Playstation or XBOX. Even that costs a few hundred bucks. Without money, you don't race - it's that simple. One exception is if you want to steal cars and race the police. Downside of that is the cops are sore winners. They like to punish the loser.
