Pippa and Jessica were there from about 8:45 on a very cold, wet & gloomy Sunday morning; staying until close to noon. They were heavily involved in teaching classes as well as on-track coaching. They were both running around like crazy. As for the publicity – Pippa didn’t invite us to promote Pippa. She is utilizing her well-known name as an Indianapolis 500 driver to promote the mission of the Glass Hammer Racing Experience.

Pippa, Jessica, Shannon Mac and any other professional drivers involved are very unselfish in the time, effort and passion they put into this. All they want out of it is to see this program grow. – GP

Stopping and chatting with young girls at a track for 30 seconds on race weekend when cameras are rolling is different than giving large blocks of time to a grass roots effort and getting no publicity for it.

There are not many girl racers out there, so when I heard about Glass Hammer I was all up for it. Glass Hammer is a great group of fun people. Making new friends, and having a blast. LADIES , We need more of you in the sport !

I will simply say that at many tracks I have observed Danica giving lots of attention to young girl fans. Not surprising since she got her start at a kart track here in southern Wisconsin.

You and George certainly made good use of your time in Indiana.

Nice story!

Now, let’s put a suite on you and George and let me take the two of you on!!! ;)

IndyCar needs more Pippa’s and fewer Danica’s.
