From the classroom at Dallara<\/a> to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway<\/a> \ud83c\udfc1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud of the large contingent of our motorsports engineering alumni working in the garages for this weekend’s Indianapolis 500 and those students studying in the incredible Purdue Motorsports Lab a mere mile away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program is fueled by Purdue faculty and staff including Matt Hunt<\/a> and Christopher Finch<\/a> in Indianapolis, alongside our alumni and industry partners. We can’t wait to see what our current and future Boilermakers will bring to the track and beyond!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
