Limiting yourself to a motorsport discipline going into college is foolish.
At the undergrad level it's really not so much where you go as it is what you put in, so long as you're at a major accredited university. Curricula are all almost identical.
If you're a HS junior or senior and are particularly talented at math and science and have an interest, start looking at different engineering programs. Either Mechanical or Aerospace. Ideally, find a place with a FSAE and try that on for size.
A lot of people initially think they want to do racing as a career. Very very few actually do. You'll want to have a BROAD background to fall back on. You WILL change your outlook on life one way or another between now and then. I still am.
