I remember seeing this on TV as a younger kid but I don't know what it's
called. I think Adult Swim was where I saw it. This girl runs off and joins
this team that's in a race with a bunch of other alien species. Her dad is the
leader but he doesn't know the girl is his daughter. Her mother was a pilot
and she died in a race so the dad didn't want the daughter to race. There's an
alien that has a white mask and shadow powers sorta. People think it killed
her mother, bit it tried to help her before the ship exploded. there's like
this mother ship like thing that's the 'garages' are on and it moves to right
above the next race start and then the racers drop from the ship.

Thank you in advance for any help given.

Here are a few quotes comfirming that from
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Cban_Star-Racers):

> Unable to tell her father who she really is, she lands a job as a mechanic
> in his team under the name "Molly"
>
> Haunted by the death of her mother — a famous star-racer — and the harsh
> "reunion" with her father, Molly is determined to win so she can be with her
> parents once again.

And here's the opening sequence:
