Reba Sellers Wins Safety Solutions' Extreme Cockpit Makeover
Marks First for Eastern Conference Finals
(Bristol, Tenn., 08/04/2010) – Junior drag racing star Reba Sellers
may not have made it to the final round of competition at the 2010
NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Eastern Conference Finals held in Bristol,
Tenn., but she is still a winner – especially to Safety Solutions,
Inc.
Sellers, 15, of Byron, Ga., won an "Extreme Cockpit Makeover" from
Safety Solutions, Inc., makers of quality safety equipment for all
types of racing. The makeover – valued at more than $1000 – featured
Safety Solutions' Dynamic Occupant System, including a Hybrid Pro™
head, youth safety belts, Safety Foundation Inc. (SFI) roll-bar
padding, arm restraints and a safety consultation with Safety Expert
Trevor Ashline. The winner was chosen at random based on entry forms
received during the event.
"I was so excited when I heard my name called," Sellers beamed.
"Safety is such an important part of racing. I'm really looking
forward to getting comfortable with all this new equipment."
"Safety should come first in all types of racing," comments Trevor
Ashline, Safety Solutions' president. "Safety Solutions believes
safety begins at the onset of every racer's career and is committed to
keeping racing heroes – from the pros to our kids – safe."
This was the first time Safety Solutions, Inc., participated in a
junior drag racing event. In addition to the Extreme Cockpit Makeover
give-away, Safety Solutions sponsored a cookout and manned a product
booth at the race.
Sellers is the daughter of Dick and Kathy Sellers, who raced
motorcycles for more than 15 years before hanging up her helmet to
raise her family. Reba attends Peach County High School, where she
will be a junior. She has been drag racing for seven years and hopes
to follow in her mother's racing footsteps.
Founded in 2001, Safety Solutions, Inc. is an industry leader in
racing safety products – from head restraints to seat belts and driver
nets. Safety Solutions features many different SFI 38.1 head
restraints, a standard that sets them apart from the competition.
Their products are approved and worn by top drivers in NASCAR, NHRA,
ADRL, Lucas Oil Off Road, World of Outlaws, and Southern California
Timing Association, to name a few.
Safety Solutions is the leading authority on safety in the racing
industry and is regularly called upon as the principal safety
consultant for racing related incidents, including the Dale Earnhardt
investigation and the Eric Medlen Project.
