DHL Delivered a VIP Experience for Girls at Track with Jamie Chadwick

Written by Eleanora Zapruder

As a member and spokeswoman of the Club Athena, I had the experience of a lifetime at the INDYCAR Gallagher Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. An experience delivered by DHL with Andretti Autosports’s INDY NXT driver, Jamie Chadwick. The Girls at Track a program for girls interested in Motorsport and Motorsport adjacent careers. 

Mr. Doug is my man! He let me sit down on the tug and started pointing out how everything worked and why. This small little machine can move incredible weight.”

We were taken to Cincinnati to tour DHL’s global hub at CVG!

I got to know my man, Doug McKoy really well as explained the tug to me.

It was cool to see how many jobs there were for one task from tug operators to pilots to people on computers in the main building.

At Indianapolis Motor Speedway we were hosted by Andretti Autosport and met Jamie Chadwick!

The Firestone team taught me how to mount a tire. Fun!

We met the teams with HPD and INDYCAR to learn more about how they bring the race to life.

We saw Romain Grosjean’s car leaving for qualifying!

And spent an entire day just enjoying the race!

What an experience! Everyone I met taught me so much and inspired me to keep learning more and following my dream of becoming a mechanic.
