What's Next

Here's an inside look at what we've got in the works to continue inspiring the underserved.

Doubling Down on DRE

DRE has successfully hosted four graduation events at various tracks nationwide. As we continue to grow, we’re focused on two things: deeper impact where we are, and meaningful expansion into cities where demand is loud and resources are thin.

DRE's Vision for 2026

Fundraising Initiative

We're seeking to raise $200k for upcoming DRE and DRX initiatives

Secure Sonoma & Miami

Expand to the Bay Area via Sonoma and Miami via Miami Homestead

Continue Running at COTA

Continue hosting graduation events at COTA for upcoming cohorts.

Launch DRX STEM Program

DRX is our new initiative that brings STEM to the underserved.

Fundraising Initiative

Fuel the Future: Help Us Raise $200k for The Underserved

Your donation powers expansion of DRE nationwide and launches the Dream Rides Xperience (DRX) STEM program, putting real skills, real mentors, and real opportunities within reach for underserved students.

Nationwide Expansion

Building on the success of DRE at the local level, we are now expanding our program to reach underserved youth nationwide.

STEM Programming

In partnership with UT's Long Horn Racing STEM Club, we're launching a hands-on STEM program for our students.

Circuit of The Americas

Continue Running at COTA

Our April 12th, 2025 graduation experience at COTA proved that an elite racetrack can be a classroom, a stage, and a launchpad all at once. The once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students will soon see round two.

Circuit of The Americas is the most prestigious racetrack in the country

Our 2025 graduation experience featured $10M+ worth of dream cars

COTA hosted our 2025 graduation and will host future graduations

Coastal Expansion

Securing Sonoma & Miami

Help us bring DRE to underserved youth in two key regions: the San Francisco Bay Area through Sonoma Raceway and Miami, Florida via Homestead-Miami Speedway. These locations were selected not only for their renowned tracks but also for their dynamic communities, which stand to gain significantly from our programs.

Sonoma Raceway

DRE is coming to the Bay: hands-on entrepreneurship, real mentors, and a capstone day at Sonoma Raceway for underserved local students.

Homestead-Miami Speedway

We’re planning a Miami cohort powered by local mentors and a high energy graduation at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Coming Soon

Dream Rides Xperience

Launching in 2026, DRX connects underserved high school students with UT’s Long Horn Racing STEM Club. Participants gain hands-on experience by shadowing motorsports teams at events like SRO and Super Lap Battle, gaining real-world STEM experience.

Why It Matters

Internships for Students of Color

Only 6% of students of color participate in high-impact experiential STEM programs like internships or labs. DRX opens the door to world-class STEM experiences by connecting underserved high school students with UT’s Longhorn Racing teams at major motorsports events. Students shadow engineers and crew members, gaining hands-on skills, insider knowledge, and industry exposure that’s often out of reach in their communities.

Exposure for Low-Income Students

Only 27% of low-income students' afterschool programs include engineering or tech activities. DRX immerses low-income students in high-energy engineering and technology settings by giving them behind-the-scenes access to UT’s Longhorn Racing teams. From track-side problem-solving to hands-on projects, participants experience real-world STEM in a way most afterschool programs can’t provide.

Accessibility to Low-Income Students

STEM-focused afterschool programs cost $1,200 more per year on average than non-STEM ones. DRX removes the financial barrier by offering its STEM motorsports experience at no cost to participants, covering everything from event access to materials. This ensures that talented low-income students can gain high-value technical skills without the burden of added expenses.

Real-World Education

Hands-on STEM experiences build problem-solving, retention, and collaboration skills. DRX delivers true hands-on learning by placing students alongside university motorsports teams where they actively observe, assist, and collaborate. This real-world environment strengthens problem-solving, boosts knowledge retention, and builds teamwork skills that can’t be learned from textbooks alone.

College Readiness

High school STEM internships boost confidence, expand networks, and increase college readiness. DRX prepares students for the next step by immersing them in a collegiate-level STEM environment with UT’s Longhorn Racing teams. Participants build confidence, make valuable connections, and gain firsthand insight into university life—giving them a head start on both the skills and mindset needed for college success.

We're Seeking Partners Who Share Our Vision for The Next Generation

We have established partnerships with COTA and Super Lap Battle for our event, alongside STEM mentors and universities. We are now seeking additional funding and partners to further empower underserved youth in STEM fields.
