Many Nascar stars got their start on the local tracks and a few of the Nascar stars still race local tracks during the off season for fun. Local drivers are heros in their home town, they work a full time job, support their familys, are great moms/dads and most of them race 2-5 times a week to boot! local racers are the roots that keep Nascar firmly planted, without local racing Nascar would wilt and die! Please support your local tracks!

I have already been through interview process. I'm hired on as a seasonal driver helper. Yesterday I got a call about an interview at a local casino thats scheduled for tommorow. I'm not sure whether or not to cancel the interview and stick to to UPS driver helper. Heres my situation: UPS pays 12.88 in my region. Im already hired but just got hired last Thursday and I have not been called to work yet...I live in a rural area. Now, the casino work pays 9 an hour working wen-sun 10-4 pm. 6 hours shift. I need extra money but I like to go to church on Sunday which would be ruined if I took the casino job. So for any of you who have been a seasonal worker in a rural area before or drive for UPS...How much could I actually expect to work on average??? Also for the record, the driver helper job seems much more interesting. I hate jobs where my main duty is to stand, stare and smile but I need extra cash so If I can't at least get a couple days a week out of UPS as a driver helper, I may need to to put my feelings aside and take the casino job,,,Any opinions???
