Bell Racing USA announced the creation of the Bell Helmets Women in Motorsports Mentor Program, which offers women interested in careers in motorsports, whether on or off the track, the opportunity to receive advice and guidance from women with diverse professional motorsports experience.

“Mentorship is a critical element in helping people learn, maximize their talents and achieve success in any field, including the sport of racing,” said Kyle Kietzmann, president and COO of Bell Racing USA. “We are proud to help facilitate a mentorship program for women in motorsports and grateful to the athletes and industry experts who are so willing to share their knowledge and experience, offering advice and guidance to women as they follow their dreams and pursue a career in racing.”

Participants will write for the Bell Racing USA blog, offering advice, tips and important lessons they have learned over the course of their careers – with the goal of helping the next generation of women in motorsports.

Beginning January 1, women with questions about careers in motorsports, female racers looking for advice or parents of young female racers can submit questions to mentor@bellracing.com, and program participants may answer questions that relate to their area of expertise.
