Women in Motorsports 2022 Class

Women in motorsports... need we say more? These nine women do some awesome things in this industry.

This is now the fourth Women in Motorsports class we’ve been fortunate to feature. Each year, we have such amazing conversations with equally incredible women doing kickass work in our engine building and racing industry.

From engine builders to racers and everything in-between, we congratulate this year’s featured women. More on their stories can be found in the links below and on our YouTube channel soon.
