Dr Robert Hubbard and Jim Downing, founders of HANS Performance Products, the originators and manufacturers of the internationally renowned Head And Neck Safety (HANS) Device, have been awarded the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association's inaugural Auto Racing Safety and Humanitarian Service Award (AARWBA.)

The award was made in recognition of the HANS Device status as being the international standard for deterring basal skull fractures as a result of high speed and sudden impact motor racing accidents.

The award will be presented at the AARWBA's 37th All America Team Banquet in January. Robert Hubbard said, "Our educational programs have led the head and neck restraint industry for over 25 years. We are tireless in our desire to help all racers and rule makers understand the safety benefits that head and neck restraints, such as HANS Devices, can provide."

Jim Downing said, "When we entered this business, we set out to make a difference, not a profit. And still, to this day, the HANS Device continues to make a difference in racing communities all over the world. We appreciate the AARWBA recognizing our hard work and dedication to the safety of racing."
