LegalShield to Sponsor Jack Hawksworth IndyCar

LegalShield, one of the nation's leading providers of legal safeguards for individuals, families and small businesses, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Indianapolis 500 winning team Bryan Herta Autosport (BHA) and Bowen & Bowers Motorsports (BBM), to sponsor the No. 98 Honda driven by Jack Hawksworth.

Hawksworth, 23, joins BHA for his rookie IndyCar season following success last season in the Firestone Indy Lights Series where he won three races and finished fourth in the championship.

LegalShield will become an associate sponsor of the BHA/BBM No. 98 Honda throughout the 2014 season, which consists of 18 IndyCar Series races across North America, including the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500. LegalShield's logo and branding will be prominently featured on the rear wing end fences of the racecar, team transporter, pit equipment, uniforms and driver suit.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to begin this partnership with an Indy 500 winning team," said Rip Mason, CEO of LegalShield. "Like BHA and BBM, LegalShield is committed to excellence in everything we do. We look forward to being a part of their success this season in the IndyCar Series."

"We're very happy to welcome LegalShield to the BHA/BBM Family as a sponsor of the No. 98 car this season," said Bryan Herta. "More than ever, people need strong legal protection, and for over 40 years LegalShield has been fighting for the legal rights of their customers. The 2014 season is shaping up to be our best one yet! "
