Description:
Don't let Dan Wheldon's effervescent personality and reputation as a jokester belie his ability as a race car driver.
After scoring an IndyCar Series-record six victories, including the 89th Indianapolis 500 for Andretti Green Racing in 2005, Wheldon wanted to stay ahead of his competition. So he left what appeared to be a perfect situation to join team owner Chip Ganassi's operation in 2006. He was an instant success, driving to victory over Helio Castroneves by just a few feet in the season opener at Homestead-Miami Speedway and tying for the series championship.
While Wheldon is blazing fast on the track, he is fastidious away from the asphalt. He admits to having a "shoe fetish," owning several hundred pairs of shoes and his clothes have to be "just right."
"It's just the way I am," Wheldon said. "Take it or leave it. It's just the way I am."
Produced exclusively by the famous Bell Helmets, this is a detailed replica of the helmet worn by 2005 Indianapolis 500 champ, Dan Wheldon. The helmet features authentic sponsor decals, amazing paint finish and much more. The inside is lined with cloth padding and there's even a cloth chin strap. The plastic visor is tinted just like a real helmet! The replica is 1/2 scale, so it's about 6" tall.
