Can a Muslim pursue career as a Professional Race Car Driver?

**From my childhood, I had a craze for racing cars & that sort of stuff**. Growing older, I researched more & more on how I can pursue my career as a Professional Race Car Driver in NASCAR. But when it came to point of halal & haram, it was more of a haram according to my research on the internet. In one of the blogs I've read that, Being a race car driver can bring a lot of risk to once one life but I think that in every career there is risk & in the same way racing has too. Now I would like some suggestions on how can I be a racing car driver following the shariah of Islam & even if I had to cross some red lines of Islam then what that would be?
