Most professional Indycar, Nascar, F1 and other racing series drivers all started with Go-Kart racing. I'm not talking the putt-putt Go-Karts families go on but the ones that go at least 80-100 KM (I'm not American so you'll have to convert this to miles) and race every Friday-Sunday in series for beginning, advanced drivers based on age and skill set.
It's very expensive because you need your own cart, helmet, suit, gloves, racing liscence and have to pay entry fees each week. There are some Go-Kart clubs that offer an arrive and drive program where they provide everything except the helmet, suit and gloves.
I'm sure if you dig hard on the Internet you'll find something. It would also be good if you ran daily, used a bicycle each day and do a wide variety of sports and exercising and eat lean and sensibly.
As you get older and liscensed to drive you can actually take professional racing instruction from a school such as the Skip Barber Racing School or others like it as every racecar driver has professional training from a racing school or program before they can ever drive in the major legaue series.
They also have to pass several levels of tests in these programs to get the liscences they need to drive at a certain level. I know this as FACT having been into racing and knowing a few Indycar drivers and well-known people in carting.
If you really want to get into it you have to get into Go-Karting as that's where everyone starts adnd they start young between the ages of 8-14 these days as a lot of people who are extremely fortunate enough to make it start racing in their late teens to early 20s professionally.

at this age, you can dirtbike, quad, or dune buggy. you really have to wait until you get your lisence before you can pursue race car driving.
