Today we take a moment to recognize and honor the legacy, history, and importance of the indigenous people who were and continue to be the foundation of this country. During November we celebrate their achievements and contributions not just in our immediate community but in all aspects of our lives. #nativeamerican #nativeamericanhistorymonth #nativeamericanhistory #drivechange #drivingchange

Known as "Lady Leadfoot" the 5' 6 dynamo Denise McCluggage was an iconic American race car driver. Sporting a pink polka-dotted crash helmet, quick wit and nerves of steel, McCluggage chose time and time to test her mettle in pursuit of " the perfect meditation". Crowned the winner of Sebring 1961 in the Touring category, and Monte Carlo Rally in 1964. "Lady Leadfoot" was always drawn to cars and kept that passion apart of her life until her death in 2015. Denise McCluggage was not just an incredible car racer, but an award winning journalist, published author, magazine founder, and exemplary skier. A multi-talented and timeless hero for many to look up to. Celebrating the one and only Denise McCluggage. #indy500 #Motorsports #drivechange #drivingchangeinmotorsports #womeninmotorsports #womeninmotorsport #Roadracing #Motorracing #f1 #motolife #nascar #karting #fellowship #dellapenna #stem #girlsinstem #girlswhodrive

The Fourth Annual "Women With Drive" Event is nigh upon us!!! Starting on December 9th and running through the 11th. This convention celebrates the women in motorsports who drive change, usher in progress, and solidifies the next steps the motorsports industry needs to take to become a place that empowers everyone. Executive Director Susan Lucas-Conwell will be there so make sure you find her and say hello!! #drivechange #drivingchangeinmotorsports #womeninmotorsports #womeninmotorsport #indianapolis #Indinanapolisraceway #nascar #indyracing #karting #racing #dellapenna #Indiana #windyindy #indy500 #500 #womeninmotorsportsna #wimna #wwdIV #womenwithdrive #givingtusday #giving #guestappearance #speakers

"She Does it All" is a common phrase when talking about incredible women. But when you look at Sabré Cook résumé it will leave your jaw on the floor. Professional Race Car Driver. Mechanical Engineer. Motivational Speaker. Driving Coach. Teacher. Businesswoman. Advocate. All of this is and more wrapped up in Sabré. She is constantly doing, contributing to a team effort or striking out on solo projects. We could list close to a dozen Top Ten finishes in the Carrerra Cup North America for 2024 alone. The camps and events she's dedicated her time to for us and Shift Up Now have letters pouring in from parents about her inspirational nature. Shining example may not be a good enough descriptor for Sabré but it's an excellent place to start. #indy500 #Motorsports #drivechange #drivingchangeinmotorsports #womeninmotorsports #womeninmotorsport #Roadracing #Motorracing #f1 #motolife #nascar #karting #fellowship #dellapenna #stem #girlsinstem #girlswhodrive #porsche #carreracup #overcome #elevate #engineer #mechanicalengineering
