Della Penna Foundation

Growing up at the track by the side of her father, John Della Penna (renowned Indycar driver and team owner), Michelle was usually the only girl there. After a successful career as an entrepreneur, Michelle decided it was time to change the industry. ​ She founded The Della Penna Foundation in 2021 whose mission is to empower girls with the knowledge, skills and mentorship – and most importantly, the opportunities – to supercharge a future in motorsports – whether it’s behind the wheel, in the pits, in the front office or in the research labs. Why 5-16 year olds and why now? ​ “If you don’t see it, you can’t be it” and there are very few women in prominent positions.. The barriers to access are high - for girls in general and for those without the financial wherewithal to find a track, buy equipment, get coached and find sponsors to cover the costs of racing. Statistics show that 9-16 years old is when girls drop out of STEM classes and close the door to futures in technology.
