Stage Lane Official; Drag Crew

About the Role

As a Staging Lane Official, you are responsible for the organization of the various classes in competition. Employees must be able to differentiate between the classes and be able to load the cars in their appropriate designated lanes. Good communication skills are necessary, as you will need to relay information from race control to the racers or vice versa; and address any issues or questions that may arise.

Do you love cars, racing, and the excitement of live motorsports? World Wide Technology Raceway is looking for passionate motor sport enthusiasts to join our Drag Crew and be part of the team that makes race day happen. Working on the drag crew puts you right in the middle of the action—not in the stands, but on the track. Our team plays a vital role in facilitating each race, helping maintain a safe racing environment while delivering an unforgettable experience for every competitor who pulls into the lanes.

Most drag crew positions can be learned quickly, and we’ll provide the training you need to succeed. Within just a few weeks, you’ll be building skills and gaining hands‑on experience in the fast‑paced world of drag racing. While this is a fun and exciting industry, it’s also a professional environment where teamwork, reliability, and strong work ethic matter. A genuine interest in motorsports and the drive to learn can easily make up for a lack of experience—we’re happy to train motivated individuals who are ready to grow.

Drag racing is a tight‑knit community, and everyone starts somewhere. There’s no better place to get your start in the industry than World Wide Technology Raceway. If you’re eager to learn and willing to work hard, we can take you from knowing nothing about the sport to becoming a valued member of our race operations team.

Many of our positions are cross‑trained, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to learn multiple roles around the track. The more skills you develop, the more valuable you become to the team—and the more opportunities you may have.

• Must be 18 years or older
• Be able to work in a team environment and take direction – we work very close with one another and at a very fast pace.
• We provide the equipment used to prep, clean and dry the racing surface. Prior equipment experience is not necessary, although preferred. You must be comfortable and willing to learn.
• Communicate professionally – good verbal communication skills are required internally with teammates and with guests.
• Reliable transportation – our day starts early and could end very late. Reliable transportation, preferably yours, is required. Because your ride cannot get you here on time or wait until the end of your shift, are not valid reasons to be late or to leave your position before the race has been completed.
• Stamina – hours can be long, and we do work in an outdoor environment; therefore, endurance is required. You must be prepared for all elements and conditions.
• Most positions are located outside in a variety of temperatures and weather conditions. You will be on your feet most, if not all of your shift. Shift lengths and end times are all driven by the event and you must be flexible.

We offer competitive hourly pay ($15–$18/hour) along with dental, vision, and additional benefits.
