Shell V-Power Racing Team Megan Foster has emphasized that empowering the personnel working behind the scenes is central to her core strategy in pursuing championship glory with Dick Johnson Racing. Her modern leadership style aims to elevate the entire organization rather than solely focusing on on-track results.
Foster, who initially connected with the squad through sponsorship around 2018, believes her external corporate background grants her a unique perspective on managing a high-performance motorsport outfit. This fresh lens allows her to optimize the synergy among engineers, mechanics, and workshop staff to support drivers like Brodie Kostecki and Rylan Gray.
"It is quite easy for me to think differently because I come from outside of the business, and some might argue that is a challenge," Foster stated. "Not coming from a motorsport background, I think what I bring is a different lens." By fostering creativity and collaboration across all departments, she aims to build a sustainable winning culture.

Addressing unexpected setbacks during a race weekend remains a critical benchmark for her operational blueprint. According to Foster, maintaining composure and having robust contingency plans when circumstances shift abruptly is what separates championship contenders from the rest of the field.
"So it is about controlling the controllables and having a plan when it is not controllable," she explained. "So it is actually how you react to it. And obviously, we know with car racing, not everything goes to plan."
