1996 Kevin Olson USAC Midget 'Chili Bowl' Race Used Helmet

Helmet used by popular USAC Midget Car star Kevin Olson. In a career spanning almost fifty years, Olson won USAC National Midget Championships in 1982 and 1987 and captured 23 victories during his USAC career. Among his many victories, he scored wins in the 1983 Turkey Night Grand Prix and the 1996 Hut Hundred. He is a five-time Badger Midget Auto Racing Association (BMARA) Champ and also won the prestigious ‘Pepsi Midget Nationals’ five times. Olson is still racing but has more recently been more involved in Motorsports broadcasting and works for the team at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kevin was inducted into the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1997. The helmet has been photo-matched to the one used at the 1996 ‘Chilli Bowl’ at the Tulsa Expo Centre.
