Indiana’s King To Receive A Crown
2014 King of Indiana Sprint Series To Award Traditional Champion's Helmet
May 23, 2014 – The King Of Indiana Sprint Series promoters will award the traditional KISS Champion’s Helmet for the eighth consecutive year. Made possible by sponsors Sprint Car and Midget Magazine, Simpson Performance Products and VanHorn Tint & Accessories, the helmet has grown to one of the most popular championship honors in open wheel racing.
Each of the Champions who have won a helmet (Jon Stanbrough in '07, '08, '10 and ‘12, Brady Short in '09 and ‘13, and Dave Darland in ‘11) have chosen not to wear it for racing, but rather to display it with their personal trophies. This only makes sense in that there are no other helmets like the KISS Champion's, and the only way to get one is to earn it on the race track. As in previous years, the helmet will be highlighted with artwork specially designed for the KISS champion by Jeff VanHorn. The Simpson helmet is fully state of the art in the critical areas of safety, materials and construction, it comes equipped with everything a driver needs to strap it on and go racing.
Simpson Performance Products and Sprint Car and Midget Magazine are nationally recognized as established leaders in their fields, with Simpson’s broad safety and racing product base, and the magazine’s reputation for strong feature articles, photos, editorials and race reporting.
Located in Bloomington, Indiana, VanHorn VanHorn Tint and Accessories offers a broad range of products, including window tinting, LED lights and truck bars, rear window graphics, specialized graphics for everything from racing cars and helmets, to personal, company and fleet vehicles.
The KISS series returns to the track this Sunday at Tri-State Speedway. The race track is located on US 41, in Haubstadt, 16 miles north of Evansville. Hot laps are scheduled for 6:30, with racing at 7:30. General admission tickets are $20, tickets for student are just $15, and ages 12 and under are admitted free. Pit passes are $30.
