Ana Palestro - 2025 GM Motorsports Business and Engineering Fellowship

OFF TRACK

Learning the science and business of racing

Off track, I focus on the parts of motorsports that happen outside the car. Time as a GM Fellowship winner, business classes at school, and working to build Ana Motorsports, LLC. On race weekends, I work with the engineers and mechanics to better understand the car and provide them with better feedback. In addition, I do my best to give back. I gave my first public speech at a Della Penna Foundation reception in Corte Madera, California.
