2008 Helmet Design In Progress
Three-time King of Indiana Sprints Series champion Jon Stanbrough received the inaugural KISS Championship Helmet on Sunday, January 27. During presentations at the Hoosier Auto Racing Fans (HARF) Awards Ceremonies in Indianapolis, Stanbrough was presented the one-of-a-kind award. With a 30-win season in 2007 sprint car competition, in addition to the KISS title, the Brownsburg, IN, driver was honored as the HARF Driver of the Year for the third time.
