Three-time W Series champion: “The opportunity I have here in Indy NXT is far greater than anything I was able to achieve over in Europe.”
to become the first woman in 13 years to drive full-time in the freshly branded Indy NXT by Firestone development series has landed on DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.racer and for Michael Andretti, chairman and CEO of Andretti Autosport, and team longtime marketing partner DHL, “DEI” has a deeper meaning. It’s about Defeating, Exceeding, Impressing.
“Ultimately, I wanted to progress out of W Series into the next step, which in Europe would have been something like Formula 3, and then ultimately in America is. Really, the opportunity I have here in Indy NXT is far greater than anything I was able to achieve over in Europe with Formula 3,” she said.
“It’s one thing having the opportunity to now step up and progress into the championship like Indy NXT, but it’s another to be doing it with a team like Andretti. I think everyone wants these opportunities, and very few people get them. So I’m very, very grateful. It wouldn’t be possible without the likes of DHL,” she said.
“We did this more on the opportunity to expand and support Jamie’s journey,” Parra said. “DEI is big for us. We’ve got a commitment as a company globally to have 30% of our senior roles all be women across the board. Inclusion is something that we’re on a mission on, from a company that’s in 220 countries across the world. So . . . when we saw this opportunity to onboard someone who’s done extremely well in the W Series—and we have been following Jamie for some time—we said this is a great fit.
Chadwick, who grew up on the UK’s Isle of Man, acknowledged the promotional doors will open with this hop across the Atlantic. However, she said, “There’s a few factors that go into it, but I’ve always seen racing in the States [as] something that I’ve looked at and been interested in. It’s just about, when’s the right time to make the opportunity work and make that move.
