If so, a national performance and racing website is seeking writers for how-to and technical pieces, interviews, race coverage, and profiles related to drag racing, street sports car racing, road racing, dirt racing, off-road racing, powersports and other articles about the American enthusiast and performance industry. If you’ve got the enthusiasm and technical savvy to help amateur racers and auto enthusiasts learn more about their vehicles, or race enthusiasts connect with the many series, races and racers, contact us.

RacingJunk.com is seeking writers with a strong drag race, oval track race, off-roading, sports car, dirt race, and auto enthusiast background to contribute articles to RacingJunk.com.

• Prior writing or photography experience. If your technical know-how is strong enough, but you haven’t written professionally, consider applying anyway.

Things that help:

• A nose for news
• Familiarity with social media
• A passion for cars, particularly American muscle
