Why Our Clients & Models Trust Us

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!

Frequently Asked Questions: Checkered Flag Girls and Motorsport Models
Checkered flag girl rates typically range from $50 to $85 per hour depending on the race venue, event length, and whether the role includes victory lane appearances, trophy presentations, or VIP hosting. Multi-day race weekends are often structured as day rates, and major series events tend toward the higher end of the range.
A checkered flag girl is a professional model or event staff member hired for motorsports events including NASCAR races, IndyCar events, Formula racing weekends, drag racing, Grand Prix events, and major car shows. The role includes waving the checkered flag at race conclusion, victory lane photo ops, grid introductions, trophy presentations, VIP hosting, sponsor appearances, and brand representation throughout the race weekend. Some series have evolved the role into a broader trackside brand ambassador function.
Checkered flag girls and car show models are related automotive event roles with different venues. A checkered flag girl works at motorsports events, including racetracks, racing series events, and pit-road or victory-lane hosting, where the context is live motorsport. A car show model works at auto shows, dealerships, and manufacturer events, focusing on vehicle walk-arounds and product-specialist conversations. Some talent crosses both worlds, which is common for sponsor brands active in both auto shows and motorsports.
Checkered flag girls, trophy models, and grid talent are staffed for NASCAR weekends, IndyCar races, drag racing events, Formula racing weekends where permitted, regional short-track racing, truck series events, and sponsor-activated programs at major racing venues. Talent is matched to the series, sponsor brand, and venue before the race weekend.
Yes, motorsports talent is booked with experience in trophy presentations, victory lane photos, podium hosting, winner interviews support, and sponsor brand representation. Camera-ready poise and familiarity with race-day flow are core to the role.
Book motorsports talent 4 to 8 weeks ahead for most races and 8 to 12 weeks ahead for major events like Daytona 500, Indy 500, NASCAR championship weekends, or high-profile sponsor activations. Peak race weekends see strong demand, so earlier booking secures better talent.
Most checkered flag girl and motorsports talent bookings carry a 4-hour daily minimum. Race weekends are typically booked at day rates rather than hourly because race-day schedules include pre-race, in-race, and post-race activations spread across 8 to 12 hours. Overtime after standard hours is billed at 1.5 times the hourly rate.
Yes, checkered flag girl profiles include headshots, full-body photos, resumes, past motorsports event experience, and any specialty skills like microphone work or brand-specific sponsor history. You can pre-approve talent before contracts are confirmed.
Yes, local checkered flag girls and motorsports talent are available in markets with active racing venues including Charlotte, Daytona, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, and other race-heavy cities, with availability across 25 or more U.S. cities. Local talent reduces travel costs for race weekends.
TSM Agency carries $1 million per occurrence in general liability insurance covering every booked motorsports talent engagement. Certificates of insurance naming your company, racing venue, sponsor organization, or series as additional insured are available on request and are standard for motorsports venue access.
TSM Agency maintains vetted backup motorsports talent. A comparable replacement with equivalent race-day experience is provided at no extra cost so your sponsor activation or race weekend stays covered. Backup confirmation happens within hours so race-day plans stay intact.
Yes, bilingual motorsports talent is available in Spanish and other languages for Hispanic-market races, international series stops, and sponsor-specific multicultural events. Language capabilities are matched to the audience and sponsor brand before the race weekend.
Checkered flag girls amplify sponsor visibility on race weekends through victory lane photos, social content, and in-person brand representation that circulates across motorsports media. Research from EventTrack shows 85% of consumers are more likely to purchase after attending a live brand experience, and motorsports events are specifically high-engagement environments where that effect compounds through broadcast and social amplification. Through the 2026 NASCAR and IndyCar seasons, sponsor activation teams continue to treat trackside talent as a primary social-content engine, not just a ceremonial role.
Apply through the TSM Agency talent application. Motorsports applicants should submit a headshot, full-body photo, resume, any past racing or motorsports event experience, camera-ready presentation work, and home market. Approved talent is contacted about upcoming race weekend and sponsor activation opportunities.
