Women in Motorsports NAS Women with Drive III Summit a sold-out success
Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA) sold out its third annual Women with Drive III (WWD III) Summit – Driven by Mobil 1 last week at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.
Over 450 women and men from all disciplines of the motorsports industry came together for two full days of sessions with over 96 speakers, 58 sponsors and numerous award announcements.
The livestream of the event, courtesy of Gainbridge, was viewed around the world as it allowed people who could not attend the event to have the opportunity to virtually attend. The summit was part of Parity Week supporting three women’s sports pioneers, Billie Jean King, Annika Sorenstam and Lyn St. James and their respective events.
The WIMNA SHEro Award, presented by Jostens, invited nominations of exceptional contributions by women in motorsports from tracks, race teams, and other organizations.
