Chip Ganassi Racing and PNC Bank announced their Women In Motorsports 2023 Interns on Wednesday ahead of the start of the new NTT INDYCAR SERIES season this weekend.
Speaking about the second year of internship scheme, team owner Chip Ganassi said:
We’re extremely proud to continue making steps toward gender equality in our sport. “It is vital that we maintain a welcoming environment where every individual has an equal opportunity to make an impactful contribution toward reaching our goals. We’re honored to share this vision and advance this program together with PNC Bank.”
The two-month internship starts on May 29 and will see the interns travel with the team to select races during the 2023 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. After reviewing a magnitude of qualified applications, the following three young women were selected:
• Hailey Hein; Northern Arizona University; Mechanics
• Nicole Goodman; Indiana University; IT
• Raegen Moody; Auburn University; Engineering
Debbie Guild, PNC head of Enterprise Technology and Security stated:
Supporting women in traditionally male-dominated spaces, such as motorsports, tech, and finance, is important to us because we know that a diverse workforce sparks innovation and influences economic inclusion. “Whether you are in a boardroom, a lab or on pit lane, performance comes down to capability and grit. As a company seeking to cultivate the next generation of female leaders, we couldn’t be more excited to support Women in Motorsports.”
