Engineering Safety at 230 MPH

Indianapolis, IN

As engines roar and 300,000 fans fill the grandstands at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, one name behind the scenes ensures that speed doesn’t come at the expense of safety: Amick Rigging and Racing.

For the 109th Running of the Indy 500, Amick is once again making its mark — not behind the wheel, but in the hardware that keeps drivers protected when every split-second matters. This year, all 33 cars on the grid are equipped with Amick’s Vehicle Component Restraint Systems, a lineup of safety innovations designed to contain critical aerodynamic panels, rear wings, and wheels in the event of a crash.

Made in America, Built for the Track

Amick’s components are proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA by a veteran team of race-savvy professionals. Each part is precision-fabricated with strength and reliability in mind — ensuring peak performance under the extreme forces of open-wheel racing. “When you're going 230 miles per hour, there’s no margin for error,” said Doug Amick. “Our job is to make sure that even if things go wrong on the track, drivers and fans stay safe. That’s the value we bring to the sport.”

Not Just Parts — A Culture of Safety

Beyond product supply, Amick Rigging and Racing works closely with teams and technical directors throughout the month of May, offering real-time adjustments, inspections, and support leading to Carb Day, Qualifying, and Race Day. Their technical staff can be spotted in the paddock and pit lane, ensuring every mount, strap, and retention system meets exacting standards.

Strength and Value in Every Detail

While the spotlight shines brightest on the drivers chasing immortality, Amick’s contributions represent a deeper story: that of safety through craftsmanship, reliability through design, and performance without compromise.

As the green flag drops, Amick Rigging and Racing stands proud — not just as a supplier, but as a protector of the sport.
