Giving Back to those that protect us

The Motorsports Pipeline Program is The Starting Grid Foundation’s commitment to giving back to the men and women who have given so much in service to our country. Through the Department of Defense SkillBridge initiative, we’ve created a meaningful pathway for transitioning Service members to enter one of the most challenging and exciting industries in the world: motorsports.

Breaking into motorsports is notoriously difficult. It's a field where connections often outweigh credentials, and opportunities can feel out of reach for those outside the industry. Our mission is to change that.

We believe there are no better candidates for this high-octane world than our nation’s veterans—individuals who have operated in fast-paced, high-stakes environments, where performance, precision, and teamwork are everything. Whether as technicians turning wrenches in the pit or strategists working in business development and marketing, Service members bring unmatched discipline, adaptability, and drive.

The Motorsports Pipeline Program is more than just training, it's a launchpad. By partnering with racing teams and series across the country, we’re opening doors that were once closed and helping veterans turn their passion into a profession.

This is our way of giving back. This is how we build the next generation of motorsports professionals. From the frontlines to the finish line.
