NASCAR has announced its 22nd NASCAR Diversity Internship Program (NDIP) class of undergraduate and graduate students.
The class of 37 students will participate in a 10-week program that offers hands-on experience across various roles in the motorsports industry.
“This year, we’re welcoming another exceptional class of college students eager to learn about our sport,” said Brandon Thompson, NASCAR’s Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. “As a graduate of NDIP, I know firsthand how crucial it is for students to have exposure to professional sports opportunities. We’re excited to welcome this year’s class and look forward to seeing them grow this summer.”
