Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), the largest undergraduate college in Iowa, is partnering with Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) and Iowa Speedway on a new internship program available exclusively to DMACC Automotive students.
DMACC students who are selected for the internship will spend eight to 10 weeks at CGR Headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they will have the opportunity to work on current NTT IndyCar Series and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race cars alongside professional racing industry technicians. The deadline to apply is June 28 at 4 p.m. CT.
“Careers in professional auto racing are very competitive, whether you’re a driver or an auto technician, and experience is key,” said Jerry Burns, DMACC Automotive Service Education Program (ASEP) and Automotive Technology Chairperson and Professor. “Students selected for this internship will strengthen their industry qualifications and differentiate themselves by gaining invaluable, hands-on experience in a professional race shop.”
“Chip Ganassi Racing is very excited to partner with DMACC for internships that can lead to potential full-time employment of young mechanical talent,” said Mike Hull, Managing Director for CGR. “After a visit to the DMACC campus, it was easy to sense the passionate desire of the students to work within a mentoring system.
Application information and materials can be found online at dmacc.edu/programs/automotive. The selection committee will review applications at the beginning of July, and finalists will be invited to attend the Iowa 300 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday, July 20.
