AMR IndyCar Safety Team To Be Outfitted by Simpson in 2025 Season

Holley Performance Brands announced a strategic collaboration with IndyCar for the 2025 race season. The company will outfit all 30 members of the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team—including physicians, paramedics, firefighters, EMTs and nurses—with top-rated Simpson fire suits to ensure the highest standards of protection.

As part of this initiative, there will also be safety training through advanced technology and hands-on programs to advance trackside training and safety protocols across all levels of motorsports.

“At Holley Performance Brands, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s fundamental,” said Matthew Stevenson, president & CEO, Holley Performance Brands. “Through Simpson’s leadership in providing innovative safety solutions, this collaboration with IndyCar represents the ultimate proving ground for our products. It’s a perfect alignment with our mission to deliver performance, safety, fun and excitement to automotive enthusiasts, and we’re proud to advance that commitment at the highest levels of motorsport.”

Part of a Wider Safety Initiative

This program is in addition to Holley’s broader safety initiatives through its partnership with IndyCar. Holley Performance Brands is also working with IndyCar to develop similar training programs for grassroots markets to enhance safety team education and training nationwide.

Key highlights of this collaboration include:

• Data-Driven Safety Improvements: Helmets equipped with accelerometers measure head movement during driver extraction, allowing safety teams to refine their techniques and minimize injury risk during emergency removal.
• Crash Tub Training Program: A state-of-the-art driver extraction training system using real IndyCar carbon fiber crash tubs to simulate emergency scenarios.
• Advanced Safety Equipment: Outfitting safety teams with Stilo Composite ST5 helmets with Eject systems, Simpson 6-Point Safety Harnesses and HANS Devices tailored to IndyCar standards.

“AMR Safety represents the gold standard in motorsport safety, and we’re honored to support them with our industry-leading safety gear from iconic brands that racers and safety teams know and trust,” said Brian Appelgate, senior vice president of Safety & Racing at Holley Performance Brands. “By combining data-driven innovation with hands-on trackside presence, we’re working to ensure every safety team is equipped and trained to protect drivers in critical moments.”
