IndyCar legend Scott Dixon wants to open the doors to his sport, especially to women.
Dixon has thrown his weight being Chip Ganassi Racing's Women in Motorsport initiative, in part because he's the father of two girls, but also because he believes that having women working on IndyCar teams will improve their performance.
"What is the natural way of getting the most and best information and having someone fresh with a fresh idea?" said Dixon, who is one title behind Mario Andretti for second on IndyCar's all-time wins list. "Or maybe an outside understanding of it, I think forces you to questions it in a different way."
Ashmore has been working closely with Ganassi's five interns, serving as a mentor. She said it's a chance for them to get their foot in the door in a way that wasn't available when she first graduated from Purdue University with a degree in mechanical engineering.
