Unique Campaign to
Provide Career Placement Opportunities within Andretti Autosport for U.S. Military
Veterans

Andretti Autosport announced today the launch of
MilitaryToMotorsports.com, a unique hiring initiative to help U.S. Military
Veterans transition into the civilian workforce upon retirement, specifically
into the motorsport industry.  

The initiative, started with the help of retired U.S. Navy
Seal Team Member and Deep Sea Diver and Andretti Autosport chassis owner, Chief
David Tilton, seeks to give back to our nation’s Armed Service members by
hiring the most qualified Military Veterans to join Andretti Autosport across
its diverse family of race teams. Opportunities span across various positions
and racing disciplines, including front office operations, transport drivers
and pit crew members. 

“I’m extremely proud
to be joining with David to launch the Military to Motorsports campaign and
want to thank him for his service to our country and friendship over the years,”
said Andretti
Autosport CEO Michael Andretti. “I firmly
believe that we’ve built crews of the best in the business, and I am honored to
welcome retired military members into our organization. The dedication and
skill sets of our veterans will make for a perfect fit in the motorsport
world.”
 

After serving 20 years with the U.S. Navy, Tilton retired in
2003 with honors, after sustaining a broken neck and back during service the
previous year; he now specializes in consulting and intelligence gathering
equipment working with the DoD Special Forces, Intelligence Community and
various other federal, state and local agencies across the U.S. In 2015, Tilton
began his support of Andretti Autosport via the Special Operations Warrior
Foundation and an awareness campaign on the Global Rallycross machine of Scott
Speed. In 2017, Tilton became an Andretti Indy car chassis owner, capturing a
thrilling victory at the 101st Indianapolis 500 with Takuma Sato. 

“As a retired service
member, I am very excited to be part of the launch of the Military to
Motorsports Program with Andretti Autosport,”
said Tilton. “This
program will give well deserved military personnel the opportunity to utilize
their skills and discipline, gained during their service, as part of one of
the most successful teams in motorsports. Serving our great
nation as a military member is something to be extremely proud of
and I know that Andretti Autosport will be honored to have
these heroes as part of the team’s success moving forward.”
 

Interested U.S. veterans can apply via MilitaryToMotorsports.com for immediate consideration
of upcoming openings. 

In support of the Military to
Motorsports initiative, Alexander Rossi will take to Pocono Raceway Sunday for
500-miles of racing in the star-spangled livery of the No. 98
MilitaryToMotorsports.com Honda. The ABC Supply 500 from Pocono will broadcast
live at 2 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
