Molly Helmuth invited to
attend prestigious Lyn St. James Racing
Academy
There were no Monday morning blues this week for
Molly Helmuth.
Just days after wrapping up her Rookie of the
Year season in the Foster Press Mini-Stock division
of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at
Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Wash., the
15-year-old racer from Seattle was invited by
legendary IndyCar driver Lyn St. James to attend
Phase I of the prestigious Women in the
Winner’s Circle Academy this Nov. 19-21 in
Phoenix.
Established in 1994 as an extension of
James’ Women in the Winner’s Circle
Foundation, the Academy has been attended by more
than 230 women from around the country including
current IndyCar and NASCAR star Danica Patrick,
NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car driver Melanie Troxel
and Natalie Sather, the 2009 Rookie of the Year in
the Super Late Model division at Evergreen
Speedway.
Covering an entire year including three
invitation-only on-site sessions, the complete
driver academy “is the most comprehensive
educational and training program of its kind for
talented women race drivers who aspire to the
professional levels of motorsports” according
to James’ website (www.lynstjames.com).
On-site sessions are designed to help participants
improve their physical and mental preparedness
(Phase I), their understanding of business and
media affairs (Phase II), and their technical
skills while driving various racing vehicles (Phase
III). Drivers are expected to use the tools gained
in on-site sessions to complete outside
assignments.
In 1992 James became the first woman to win
Rookie of the Year honors at the Indianapolis 500,
the first of seven starts she made in that
prestigious race. She has also driven in the 24
Hours of Le Mans and twice won the 24 Hours of
Daytona. She was named one of the “Top-100
Women Athletes of the Century” by Sports
Illustrated for Women and one of “The 350
Women Who Changed the World Between 1976-1996”
by Working Woman. She served as president of the
Women’s Sports Foundation from 1990-93, and
founded the Women in the Winner’s Circle
Foundation in 1994.
Helmuth began racing karts in 2006 and has
competed in the Northwest Rotax Series throughout
the Pacific Northwest and Canada. When NASCAR
lowered the age limit to 14 for the 2010 season,
she entered the Mini-Stock division with a
front-wheel drive Volkswagen Corrado. Racing
against drivers twice her age, Helmuth became a fan
favorite by bumping, passing, spinning out and
crashing as she learned how to handle and race her
car.
The youngest driver to ever win Rookie of the
Year honors in the Mini-Stock division at Evergreen
Speedway, Helmuth finished the 2010 season No. 5
(of 31) in the series standings. She also won a
trophy dash in August at Idaho’s Stateline
Stadium Speedway while racing with the Northwest
Outlaws Series.
In addition to participating in Phase I of the
Women in the Winner’s Circle Academy —
and hoping to get invited back for Phases II and
III — Helmuth will continue racing karts and
is planning on driving a rear-wheel drive Ford
Mustang in Evergreen Speedway’s Mini-Stock
division next season.
Security Imaging renews
partnership with Molly Helmuth
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series rookie of the
year Molly Helmuth is pleased to announce the
continuation of her partnership with Security
Imaging Corporation.
The Seattle company was the 15-year-old’s
primary sponsor during her inaugural season racing
in the Mini-Stock division at Evergreen Speedway in
Monroe, Wash., and will continue to support her
throughout the 2011 racing season
We’re proud to support an up-and-coming
young female driver, but from a business standpoint
it is also a great fit for our company,” said
Emily Dick, senior account manager. “Security
Imaging is a leader in online sales of badge
holders, lanyards, photo ID card printers,
wristbands and other products used throughout the
racing community.”
In business since 1996, Security Imaging has the
largest supply of photo ID supplies on the Internet
and past and current customers include
corporations, military, government, schools and
universities, and large and small businesses across
the United States and internationally.
The online catalog at www.securityimaging.com
displays just a portion of the products available
from the company, and customers are encouraged to
contact the Security Imaging staff with questions
or to request a particular item. Many of the
products Security Imaging sells can be customized,
making them a low-cost and effective method for
marketing in addition to meeting an operational
need.
“Tracks, traveling series and race teams
all over the country are already purchasing our
products,” said Dick. “We hope
they’ll ask themselves, ‘Why not purchase
from this company that is supporting a young female
driver?’”
The announcement is the latest in a string of
good news for Molly Helmuth, who was recently
invited by legendary IndyCar driver Lyn St. James
to attend Phase I of the prestigious Women in the
Winner’s Circle Academy Nov. 19-21 in Phoenix.
Prior to that the Seattle native will take part
— again by invitation — in the Talent
Search Shoot-Out held by Ron Sutton’s
Winner’s Circle, a NASCAR-focused racing
career development program.
Behind the scenes, a Ford Mustang is being
prepared for Helmuth’s sophomore season racing
in the Mini-Stock Division at Evergreen Speedway.
She also plans on driving a four-cylinder
late-model in select events held by the Northwest
Pro4 Alliance series and racing her kart whenever
possible.
