Dear Mr. Yates:

 

I am writing to you asking for your consideration in joining your team organization of drivers.  I am confident in my abilities as a driver at any level of racing.  However, I am seeking an opportunity in the Craftsmen Truck Series or Nascar Busch Series as the next step in my ultimate goal of becoming a Nascar Nextel Cup champion.  Please note that I want to be a champion and am not content to just ride around the track.  My burning desire to win does not include being the first loser by coming in second.  I enjoy the reputation of a clean driver who takes good care of my car. 

 

We are enclosing the following materials and information for your perusal:

  • Resume
  • Chronological listing of Accomplishments including all Championships, Wins, Finishes
  • Magazine article “Racing Into Our Hearts”

 

Please note our website has more information.  Additional data including references shall be furnished on request.  We thank you for this opportunity to present our request for your consideration and we are confident we can be a good fit for your organization.  Your positive response will be appreciated.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

David Hodges, Jr.
