From a press release issued by Shoei: Shoei Safety Helmet Corporation is excited to announce the signing of young gun Benny Solis Jr. 13-year old Solis will campaign the U.S. Red Bull Rookies Cup this year where he is already one of the favorites going into the first round that will run in conjunction with the AMA Superbike Series at Barber Motorsports Park next month. Solis has road racing in his blood, as his father, Ben Sr., is a former 125cc racer himself. “Shoei is proud to support the future of American road racing. We hope that Benny will begin decorating our office with trophies like his Shoei teammates Josh Herrin and P.J. Jacobsen, both of whom are former 125cc champions,” said Bret Milan, Marketing Manager for Shoei Safety Helmet Corporation. According to Benny, “Today is the first time I’ve worn the RF-1000, and I’m really happy with the fit. The Shoei is the most comfortable helmet I’ve worn. Shoei has a great reputation at the track for safety, so I’m really happy to be a part of the Shoei family.” For more information on the entire Shoei line, please visit us on the web at www.shoei-helmets.com or visit an authorized Shoei dealer near you.
