How these amazing people tackle the stigma of Mental Health
July 20, 2025
During MotoAmerica weekend at The Ridge Motorsports Park (June 27–29), our team at The Remix Racing Project had the opportunity to share our story and our mission in a conversation with the Mental Health and Motorcycles Podcast. Set against the backdrop of a high-performance race weekend, we spoke openly about the mental health challenges that exist in racing culture—and how our team is working to create space for healing, honesty, and support through the sport we love.
Mental health impacts every paddock, every pit, and every person—whether you’re racing, wrenching, or watching from the stands. We’re grateful to the podcast team and to our community for helping us amplify the message that you don’t have to suffer in silence.
