Mooresville (NC, United States), November 6th, 2024 – Bell Racing, a brand of Racing Force Group, will extend the multi-year partnership with Andersen Promotions, the organizer of USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire, and the status of Official Helmet supplier. The collaboration, which began in 2019, exemplifies Bell Racing commitment to helping young drivers as they climb the ladder to the top levels of American open-wheel racing and of motorsport in general.
Since its launch in 2010, the ladder system has attracted competitors from around the globe with drivers representing 37 countries and six continents as part of its grids, showcasing their talents at premier venues on a mix of road courses, temporary street circuits and ovals. USF Pro Championships provide its competitors an opportunity to gain valuable experience on and off the track while following a clear-cut path of progression through three development series – USF Juniors, USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 – with the ultimate goal of competing in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
The champions in each of the three series will continue to receive a one-year Bell Athlete Contract which includes an FIA 8860 required helmet and accessories for that year. In addition, all drivers and teams across USF Juniors, USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 will be able to acquire Bell Racing helmets and accessories at a discounted rate.
Bell Racing Helmets will also provide social media backing through its platforms to assist in showcasing the accomplishments of USF Pro competitors.
The 2025 season of USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire will feature a total of 52 races across the three series; 36 will be held in support of INDYCAR, with the opener scheduled on 28 February to 2 March on the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, for the USF Pro 2000 and USF2000, and at NOLA Motorsports Park, Louisiana, from 10 to 13 April for USF Juniors.
Kyle Kietzmann, CEO of Racing Force USA, commented: “The mission of the Bell brand has always been to provide advanced head protection for every driver, including the stars of tomorrow. Being partners of the USF Pro Championships fits perfectly with our core DNA, so we are thrilled to continue to support all the young talented drivers on the USF Pro 2000, USF2000 and USF Juniors grids along their rise with our state-of-the-art helmets, product service and promotional activities. After another great racing season together, we look forward to the start of the 2025 campaign.”
Dan Andersen, Owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions, added: “Bell Racing has a strong presence throughout our paddock including being the preferred helmet of choice for our three newly crowned champions – Lochie Hughes, Max Garcia and Max Taylor. Our aim is to support our drivers as much as possible financially as they move up through the ranks, hence our scholarships. Having Bell Racing Helmets return as our Official Helmet amplifies our goals of assisting young drivers. We are thrilled to have them as a partner.”
