DHL and Three-Time INDYCAR Champion Alex Palou “Speed Up” Employee Recognition

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 25, 2025) – DHL is celebrating employees across North America at speeds exceeding 200 MPH during this season’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The Accelerating with Alex program gives DHL employees the opportunity to attend an INDYCAR race and see their names featured on the back of the No. 10 DHL Honda driven by three-time INDYCAR champion Alex Palou. Winners will get the opportunity to meet Alex as he and his DHL team defend their back-to-back championships.

Fans may have spotted the program in action during last season’s championship campaign, when selected employees had their names ride along with Palou as he raced to victory. Accelerating With Alex is one of many programs DHL uses to enhance employee engagement and recognize individuals who consistently deliver excellence.
