For over 60 years, Simpson has stood at the intersection of speed and safety. What began in 1959 with a parachute to slow down dragsters has evolved into one of the most trusted names in motorsports protection. From NHRA legends to grassroots weekend warriors, racers have relied on Simpson for helmets, suits, harnesses, and gear built for one purpose: surviving the fastest moments on earth.


Our roots run deep in drag racing. From the earliest Funny Cars to today’s 330+ MPH Top Fuel runs, Simpson has been part of the fabric of the sport—innovating, testing, and protecting with every launch. We don't follow the competition. We outpace it.


When you wear Simpson, you wear decades of performance, grit, and proven safety—engineered & made in the U.S.A., trusted worldwide.

Few names in motorsports carry the weight of Tony Stewart. A legend behind the wheel, Stewart’s career has spanned everything from dirt ovals to NASCAR Cup championships—and now, the thunderous intensity of NHRA drag racing.


As a longtime Simpson athlete, Stewart has trusted our gear through every chapter of his racing evolution. From the bullrings to the big leagues, and now to the staging lanes of Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Fuel competition, Stewart continues to embody the spirit of a true racer: adaptable, fearless, and relentless in pursuit of speed.


His leap into drag racing isn’t just a career move—it’s a testament to the growth and excitement of the sport. And with Simpson on his side, Stewart carries a legacy of safety and innovation into every pass down the strip.


When icons like Tony Stewart choose Simpson, they choose performance, protection, and pedigree.
