CONCORD, NC — The World Racing Group announced today that Chizmark Larson Insurance Agency is a Proud Sponsor of the World of Outlaws. Specializing in affordable insurance for racers and race teams, Chizmark Larson will help fill an immediate need as the racing season heads into full swing.
“As an associate sponsor of reigning DIRTcar UMP Late Model National Champion Jason Feger, we immediately began to see the value offered by the World Racing Group and are excited about moving forward in a larger role over the next two years,” said Mike Larson, motorsports division agent. “We specialize in offering affordable insurance for racers and race teams. With many insurance companies unable to insure members and equipment in the high-risk world of racing, we saw the need to help protect against the possible financial loss of fire, theft, or even disability while recovering from a race-related accident.”
As the economy has tightened and sponsorship dollars are in short supply, many racers no longer have back-up funds to instantly replace stolen or damaged equipment. Other unfortunate circumstances, such as sustaining a physical injury on the track, can also be covered with the proper insurance policy.
“Racers don’t always think about insurance because they’re so focused on what they’re doing,” said Tim McCreadie, the 2006 World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion who wasn’t covered by a health insurance program when he suffered a serious back injury during the 2009 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals. “After I sustained my injury, I realized how important insurance is. Racers need to make sure they have some sort of coverage because anything can happen in this sport.”
Celebrating its 60th year in business, Chizmark Larson is committed to insuring the racing community from teams to drivers. Also, while offering coverage to U.S.-based sanctioning bodies, promoters and sponsors, it covers off-track storage and contents of competition vehicles, trailers and racing equipment, as well. Worldwide coverage is also available for teams that compete outside of the United States.
Chizmark Larson prides itself in offering all the lines of insurance needed to protect your team, driver and equipment to make your racing season successful. For further information, visit www.chizmarklarson.com. For price quotes contact Mike Larson at Mike@ChizmarkLarson.com or 815-725-6527.
