Kenny Koldsbaek lost his good friend Jason Leffler in a 2014 sprint-car crash before he could get a full-containment seat finished to protect a driver’s left side. Following Dave Steele’s fatal crash earlier this year, Carbon Kenny called safety pioneer Bill Simpson and they went to work developing the safest seat possible for a sprint or midget driver.
Koldsbaek and Simpson show Robin Miller their new seat design for sprints and midgets.

Robin Miller
Robin Miller flunked out of Ball State after two quarters, but got a job stooging for Jim Hurtubise at the 1968 Indianapolis 500 when Herk's was the last roadster to ever make the race. He got hired at The Indianapolis Star a month later and talked his way into the sports department, where he began covering USAC and IndyCar racing. He got fired at The Star for being anti-Tony George, but ESPN hired him to write and do RPM2Nite. Then he went to SPEED and worked on WIND TUNNEL and SPEED REPORT. He started at RACER when SPEED folded, and currently writes for RACER.com and RACER magazine while also working for NBCSN on IndyCar telecasts.
