History of Motorsports Awareness Month

Motorsports Awareness Month began in 2013 in the United States as a way to spotlight the motorsports industry and those who power it.

It was introduced with support from industry leaders, racing teams, safety organizations, and policymakers.

The aim was to raise awareness about the impact of motorsports on innovation, public safety, and job creation.

Racing is more than fast cars—it involves research, teamwork, and technical skill. This initiative helped bring that message to a wider audience.

From its launch, the month focused on education and outreach. Organizers encouraged fans, drivers, and engineers to share their experiences.

Racing schools, tracks, and local events joined in with activities and demonstrations.

Many also used the opportunity to highlight how motorsport innovations often improve everyday vehicles.

For example, advancements in brakes, helmets, and seatbelts have made their way from the racetrack into regular cars.

Over time, Motorsports Awareness Month has grown across states and communities. It now reaches people of all ages, from casual fans to aspiring drivers. More groups continue to join the movement each year.

By promoting safety, technology, and diversity in racing, the month keeps pushing the sport forward. It celebrates the past while helping shape the future.
