HANS Performance Products announced today that NASCAR has approved the use of the new Vision Advantage PLUS sliding tether system and the HANS Device Sport Series.
The new Vision Advantage PLUS sliding tether system permits improvements in left and right visibility by allowing easy but controlled rotation of a racer’s helmet. The proven results are tethers that allow over four times the field of view of competing head and neck restraints.
The HANS Device Sport Series provides drivers with class leading performance at a value price. Starting at $595 for youth sizes, the Sport Series features a revolutionary carbon fiber composite combined with an innovative and proprietary molding process.
NASCAR did extensive testing to ensure their driver’s protection. Sales Director Howard Bennett said, “We’re very pleased that NASCAR approved the Vision Advantage Plus sliding tether and HANS Device Sport Series. We recognize they trust us to keep NASCAR participants secure.”
Introduced at the PRI show in December of 2007, the Vision Advantage Plus sliding tether and HANS Device Sport Series have been approved by the SFI Foundation and the FIA.

IMO They should outlaw the HANS and mandate the the Safety Solutions R3/Hybrid, which is way more safer then the HANS Device.
Fisha, I’ve seen John Force wear that unit, and i have to wonder how comfortable it would be, as far down the back as it goes, for 2.5 hours upposed to 2.5 minutes?
Some CTS drivers use it (it is approved for the CTS and lower NASCAR series, but not Cup or Nationwide). I know a few local SCCA racers that use it and their seat is actually made so that the unit fits into the seat so your back still sits properly in the seat.
