Kyle Busch has been busy the last two weeks winning races and leaving his mark on the NASCAR record books - and he’s been doing it wearing a Stilo ST4W Carbon helmet!

On July 9^th, Kyle registered his 99^th win in NASCAR’s top three series dominating the inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway. After the race we caught up with Kyle who said, “This is cool man. This is right up there with the best of them. I haven’t won the big ones, so this is as good as it gets right now. I can’t put it into words.”

The win capped off an impressive weekend in which saw Kyle win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Thursday and finish third in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Friday.

What did he do for an encore? The following weekend, Kyle won the NASCAR Nationwide Series New England 200 at New Hampshire Speedway. With the win, Kyle became the third driver in the history of NASCAR to collect 100 national series victories and tied Mark Martin atop the all-time NASCAR Nationwide Series wins list, at 49.

“It’s fun to look back and see that my name is atop the list of names that have made the Nationwide Series what it is today — Mark Martin, Sam Ard and Tommy Houston to name a few,” said Busch. “There’s many more wins to go, hopefully. We can certainly make it a large number one day and we’ll see how that all tallies up in the end.”

Stilo is proud to be a part of keeping Kyle safe while he races hard. This year, while Kyle has been using the Stilo ST4W Carbon helmet in all of his races, he told us “The integrated ear muffs cut the overall noise by about 30% compared to my old helmet. I can hear more of what’s going on with my race vehicle which allows me to focus on racing with less distraction.”

Kyle also uses SCHROTH belts in all his race cars.

HMS/Stilo was at Indianapolis this week working with Paul Tracy to fit a Stilo St4F FIA 8860 helmet. After some fine tuning by Derek we were able to get Paul into a helmet that he will use in the 100th running of this years Indianapolis 500. Keep an eye out for the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Wix Filter no 23 car. Paul also has been a longtime user of Schroth Racing harnessbelts.

HMS would like to wish Paul and his team good luck in the upcoming race. You should also check out Paul Tracy’s Indy 500 Diary that he is writing on racer.com.

Please come check us out at the PRI Show December 9th-11th in Orlando. We’ll be at booth numbers 991, 995, 1194, 1196 with helmets and would love to answer your questions.

Danvers, MA - March 30, 2010 - Stilo Helmets of Treviolo, Italy, the leading helmet provider to the World Rally Championship has appointed HMS Motorsport, Danvers, MA as their exclusive United States distributor for all of their helmet, rally intercom, and race communications products.

Stilo s.r.l. was founded in 1999 by former Italian Rally Champion, Ludovico Fassitelli and his wife Elena Perini. Their initial product line was the first open face helmet in the world designed around the intercom and a series of state of the art rally radio intercom systems. This quickly expanded to a complete line of the highest quality - lightweight helmets, integrating headset earmuff speakers, microphone, air, and drinking systems. Fassitelli said “the integration of all of these options into the shell of the helmet maintains the integrity of the helmet that might otherwise be compromised by third party modifications.” This industry first is the primary reason Stilo has become the favorite of WRC, F1, and other professional drivers worldwide.

All Stilo motorsport helmets meet the current SNELL 2005 standard and are available in three different shell materials - fiberglass/Kevlar composite, carbon/Kevlar, and full carbon fiber (FIA 8860). Karting and Offshore boat racing models are available as well.

HMS Motorsport, Ltd of Danvers, MA, was founded in 1995 by Joe Marko, a leading safety expert in seatbelt and head and neck restraints. Fassitelli stated that “HMS is the perfect partner based on their exceptional success as the North American Distributor for SCHROTH® Racing Harnessbelts, their extensive distribution network, and their recognition as leaders in motorsports safety”. HMS has successfully made SCHROTH the most used harnessbelt in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and IRL racing series and the premium belt of choice for both professional and amateur racers.

The complete line of Stilo products is immediately available from HMS. Detailed product information is available at www.stilo-usa.com or by calling Stilo USA at 877-MY-STILO. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
