A court-ordered discovery has shown that counterfeit HANS Device post anchors in IMPACT RACING Products' helmets is a more far-reaching issue than first thought. HANS Performance Products is continuing its free anchor replacement program both directly and through its authorized dealer network. Racing Radios has been servicing the NASCAR teams and leading support in NHRA comes from Simpson Performance Products. Simpson CEO Chuck Davies said, "Like the people at HANS, we take safety very seriously. Racers trust our products and we're proud our trackside services are able to help racers."

HANS CEO Mark Stiles added, "We didn't create this situation but it is vitally important that racers have full confidence in their HANS Device. We have always been impressed with Simpson Performance Products' commitment to safety and service. They have helped tremendously to minimize any concerns our customers may have."

HANS is encouraging all racers to make a special effort when they inspect their gear. Details of the replacement program, other information and program updates are available at hansdevice.com, by calling HANS direct at 1 (888) HANS-999, or by contacting an authorized North American HANS factory trained dealer.
