By leveraging this reality Uru is proud to support NASCAR's Drive for Diversity initiatives, which have been instrumental in promoting inclusion and providing opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences in the motorsports industry. A huge thank you to Chris Traeger, Wyatt Hicks, Nancy Darby, Kelly Novashinski, PHR, SHRM-CP, and all the others who have helped this mission-aligned partnership come to life!
