INSPIRE

In collaboration with our partners that include Firestone, Dallara, PRI, Bell Helmet and IMS, The Della Penna Foundation is holding the third annual Della Penna Inspire Program over three days with 34 girls who will visit and talk to women about their journeys in motorsports.


INITIATE

Last December, WIMNA  held their annual conference in Indianapolis at the same time as PRI. Susan Lucas-Conwell brought a small group of local high school girls to meet members of the Della Penna Drivers Advisory Council and see what it’s like to be with hundreds of women in motorsports from around the world. 

TRAIN & COMPETE

Thanks to a successful Giving Tuesday campaign in 2023, the Foundation offered four Della Penna Fellowships in 2024. Girls shadowed women at General Motors Motorsports Engineering, the Sonoma Raceway and in Indianapolis with both George 4 / Andretti and the IMS/Speedway.
