About
Our mission is to reach at-risk children to provide them with hope and empowerment and show them that regardless of their circumstances, they can grow into healthy, productive adults and have careers in exciting fields. We do this by utilizing sports and entertainment platforms to educate them, instill leadership values, and train and prepare them for success. This training is geared toward producing the next generation of sports and entertainment professionals. One of our most celebrated ways to develop sports leaders is through the Rev Racing Motor Sports Academy at Mustang Ranch. Our instructors have the highest expertise within the industry, to mentor and educate students. Because every great leader should have a strong financial understanding, we will also provide financial literacy classes that teach students to be fiscally responsible. Simply put, we develop children and young people and change their lives.
At the Rev Racing Motorsports Academy at Mustang Ranch, participants will develop their abilities and increase their knowledge about the racing industry during our one-week or three-day camps. At the academy, we believe in a hands-on approach that engages participants in real-life racing scenarios on track and business levels.
Our focus is plain and simple. It’s about the future leaders, athletes, educators, business owners, and industry leaders of our communities. Through the staff at the Rev Racing Motorsports Academy, the MSI Youth Foundation, and Max’s relationships, some of the world’s most talented athletes, musicians, and, established organizations have continued to open doors and create opportunities for him throughout his life and career. Coming from a background of poverty and growing up in a household with drugs and alcohol, he understands overcoming obstacles, resulting in a dedication to the development of youth programs. As the owner of Rev Racing, a NASCAR-driven race team for minority drivers, Max has focused on creating opportunities, educating, and improving the lives of our youth. He is excited to continue this effort with the launch of the Rev Racing Motorsports Academy. The Foundation and Academy will provide a safe and nurturing environment that fosters growth and creates experiences and opportunities that these children and young adults may not normally have access to.
The Rev Racing Motorsports Academy at Mustang Ranch will set the stage and standard for all racing academies in the Midwest. The academy is the first program module of its kind to the Indianapolis area, with focus areas in Financial Literacy, Healthy Lifestyle training, Motorsports Marketing, STEAM, driver and crew training, and on-track hands-on experience. Success on the track begins with preparation off the track.
