Pippa Mann officially announced today that she will be running the Indianapolis 500 with Dale Coyne Racing. She will be behind the wheel of the No. 63 Susan G. Komen Honda for the 98th running of the event.
“Dale Coyne Racing has an amazing crew coming on board to staff the No. 63 car,” Mann said in the team release, “and I can’t thank Dale and the team enough for their support of this project, and for all the hard work they have also put into this behind the scenes. We will be out there not only racing for position, and competing in a classic racing sense against our competitors on track, but we will also be out there racing for the cure.”
Mann will be hoping to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness with her effort behind the wheel of her pink and white ride.
“I’ve closely guarded my helmet design and colors. You don’t see me change often,” said Mann. “I thought wouldn’t it be cool to change it for a really good cause and then donate it to (the Indianapolis Komen organization) after the race to auction. I’m really proud to be involved with this program and raise money for Susan G. Komen.”
Mann will begin practicing for her second Indianapolis 500 on May 11th with the rest of her fellow competitors. Qualifications will take place on May 17th and 18th with the race scheduled for May 25th.
