Track Chic (www.trackchic.com), is more than a website or social phenomenon – it’s a forum for women, created by women, with women leading the way in racing information, events, drivers, fashion and more. Each month Track Chic showcases the achievements of so many women involved both behind the wheel and behind the scenes in the motorsport industry. This month our “Women Behind the Wheels” focuses on Marsha Mason, the award winning actress and former SCCA competitor who trained under Jim “Fitzy” Fitzgerald locally at Road Atlanta. Future editions will include Pattie Petty, wife of NASCAR’s famed Kyle Petty and founder of the Victory Junction Gang Camp for seriously ill children; author and race analyst, Liz Allison;  Mary Scully, editor of Racing Milestones Magazine; and Yvonne Szeto the architect design partner for the NASCAR® museum in Charlotte, and others. I think interviewing these women should not only be fun for us, but also inspiring!

Track Chic, Inc. is strictly a fun phenomenon and available to anyone who chooses to participate. Membership and purchases are optional. Crew Teams have their own Crew Team Webpages to post their favorite photos and videos from the race, stay on track of upcoming special events, race schedules, road trips, etc., and Chic Chat with other members from around the globe. Members receive a 10% discount on all purchases and services. Team Leaders, or “Crew Chiefs”, also receive a 10% discount as well as earn “Fun Money-Thank You Notes” Commission in gratitude for their word of mouth marketing efforts. Crew Chiefs have the option of receiving their quarterly commission payments by check, or if preferred, Track Chic will donate their commission equivalent directly to the charity of their choice on their behalf.

Charity work and “Giving Back” is an important focus of Track Chic. Track Chic actively encourages it members to join together on a community level to make a difference where it matters most. Through Track Chic’s “Fun Money- Thank You Notes” program a portion of all proceeds is dedicated to causes important to women, including children, education, female health issues, job training and support for our military families struggling with the emotional and physical wounds of war. Recognizing that sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference, Track Chic, working with the Petty family’s Victory Junction Gang Camp includes the pattern for the Teddy Bear that each camper receives in its membership kit and encourages members to organize “Chic Stichin’” parties, like quilting bees from simpler times, to come together and share a special sense of sisterhood while doing something good for others.
