Ashley Chalk, VP Business Development, Chip Ganassi Racing

Ashley Chalk has been developing corporate partnerships for all kinds of organizations over her 20 year career. You name it, she’s sold it: Minor League Baseball, Legoland, Disney on Ice, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, and now 14 time champion Chip Ganassi Racing. We talk about Ashley’s development as a sales professional, what she sees as her essential skills, and why a quick no is better than a 1000 maybes. We also cover the impact of the Netflix series Drive to Survive not just on F1, but on all of motorsports, and why she’s bullish about the growing opportunities for women in racing.
