How to Become a NASCAR Sprint Cup Girl

Potential NASCAR Sprint Cup Girls should reside in North Carolina.

Miss Sprint Cup is the title granted to each woman who is chosen to represent the action at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The Sprint Cup Series is the largest of the racing series sanctioned by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) -- the governing body of various American auto-racing events. Miss Sprint Cup -- the new title of its precursor, the "Miss Winston Cup" -- is also called the "Sprint Cup Girl" or "Trophy Girl," among other monikers. She interacts with drivers and fans at NASCAR Sprint Cup events. She also brings viewers news regarding drivers and various NASCAR activities.

Things You'll Need

• Resume
• Photographs of yourself
• Computer

Instructions

1. Earn your college degree. Miss Sprint Cup candidates must possess at least a bachelor's degree before applying.

2. Acquire a background in public speaking. A potential Miss Sprint Cup interviewee must have a background in public relations or media promotions. You should have a gregarious personality as well as the ability to easily improvise while interviewing or working with large crowds.

3. Reside in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. If you do not live in the area, you must be willing to relocate. Miss Sprint Cup is expected to do a great deal of traveling.

4. Gather a variety of photographs of yourself. Your group of photographs should include a "straight-on headshot: smiling, straight-on headshot: not smiling, full length: bathing suit/underwear, full length: clothed, 3/4 length," according to Marilyn's Model and Talent Management.

5. Start the Miss Sprint Cup application process via Marilyn's Model and Talent Management. Marilyn Green, the founder of the agency, was the original Miss Winston Cup in 1971. Applications are accepted online. The agency's website provides the current Miss Sprint Cup's agent's email address, to which you should email your resume and photographs.

6. Have your talent agent apply on your behalf -- if you already belong to a talent agency -- as was done by Monica Palumbo, according to NASCAR writer Bill Kimm. Palumbo is Miss Sprint Cup 2010.

   If you already belong to a different talent agency, your talent agent may apply on your behalf, as was done by Monica Palumbo, according to NASCAR writer Bill Kimm. Palumbo is a current Miss Sprint Cup as of 2010.

7. Send your photos and resume to the talent agent via the Marilyn's Model and Talent Management website, which indicates that applicants should write "Miss Sprint Cup" in the email subject line, and request an acknowledgment that your email was received.

8. Wait for a reply. If Marilyn's Model and Talent Management believes you have potential to be the next Miss Sprint Cup, they will contact you within two weeks.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear minimal makeup in your photographs because the talent agency wishes to see your face free of cosmetics.

• You should be comfortable with wireless technology, as Miss Sprint Cup promotes Sprint products.
