Chip Ganassi Racing Launches Campaign to Support Women in Motorsports

PNC Bank and Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) have announced the launch of Women In Motorsports Powered by PNC Bank with Chip Ganassi Racing, a new campaign to drive awareness and support for gender equality and economic inclusion for women in the workforce. 

Announced on International Women’s Day on March 8, the initiative includes a video content series showcasing female industry leaders and an internship designed to accelerate career pathways in motorsports for women. 

The campaign will highlight women in the CGR organization who have excelled in motorsports, including IMSA engineer Danielle Shepherd, IndyCar engineer Angela Ashmore, and IndyCar mechanic Anna Chatten.

Additionally, the inaugural Women In Motorsports internship program will engage a select group of female college students in on-site learning and career-development experiences during the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season. The internship is open to eligible women attending a university, college, or other higher education institution in the US and includes a paid stipend and academic credit where applicable. The application portal closes at 5 p.m. ET, March 22.
