A new Hutchens Hybrid head and neck restraint device has passed safety testing and is now available for NASCAR touring series drivers to use in private tests. Safety Solutions and LFT Technologies will work with teams and develop inventory until July 13, when the device will be allowed for use in competition. The Hybrid will join the HANS device as the only head and neck restraint systems allowed by NASCAR.
The quixotic bid by 72-year-old driver James Hylton to make this year’s Daytona 500 field will be backed by Retirement Living TV, a Maryland-based network aimed at viewers 55 and up. “James spirit is everything that Retirement Television stands for,” said Ed Beimfohr, vice president of marketing for Retirement Living TV. “We believe that you are never too old to go out and accomplish goals. ...Achievement is ageless.”
