The Muscle Car Place online podcast episode number 530. This week it's January and in January we talk about chasing goals, careers, businesses, and dreams. And this week, it's all of those. We're going to talk about how to set yourself up for success in professional racing. Talking about getting paid to do it. Our guest is Brian Bollander. He is a racer who has been there and done that. He's on the driver side of the aisle as well as the corporate side. He teaches this stuff. He'll share everything on the business side you want to understand, like how to get noticed by teams, maybe whether or not to run your own equipment. He'll talk about sponsorship. And we're going to talk about how to get good at the craft of racing, but I assure you, you will play this interview over and over again, including the

part you maybe don't want to hear, but it's true, and it works. Motor sports is expensive. Let's make

no bones about it. How do you get noticed by a team? Bring a checkbook. I hate saying that,

but that's the reality. Bring a checkbook. I hate saying that, but that's the reality. Bring a checkbook.

This is the Muscle Car Place Online podcast, brought you by National Parks Depot.

This is the weekly show dedicated to people worldwide who love American muscle cars.

If you're buying, selling, restoring, even racing them, this is the place for you.

Now here's your host, Rob Kibby.

Yes, indeed, I am Rob Kibby, and welcome to the Muscle Car Place podcast.

Well, here we are, everybody, the second week of January.

And if you thought in the month

of January, am I going to go to two shows a month? Absolutely not. I do not go cheap on the goals.

We're here for three shows in January. We're going to talk about goals and dreams. And yes,

racing. And I'm talking about the dream of racing professionally. That's a big dream. So many of us

have or have had. And for you, it doesn't mean racing professionally. That's a big dream. So many of us have or have had.

And for you, it doesn't mean you've got to necessarily be a driver.

Maybe you want to be on a car team.

Maybe you want to be a crew chief.

It could be any of those things.

Brian Bollander is our guest.

He will nail it.

I assure you.
