Driver: Danny Sullivan – Louisville, Kentucky (USA)
Helmet Manufacturer: Bell
Year(s): 1982
Authentic race-used Bell helmet worn by Danny Sullivan during the 1982 CART/USAC IndyCar season—his first full-time year in American open-wheel racing. Finished in a classic gloss-black base, the helmet features Sullivan’s early-career red, white, and blue arrow-striping motif, paired with period sponsor decals including Benetton and Bell. The piece retains its original USAC technical inspection sticker and shows evident track wear, making it an exceptional example from Sullivan’s formative years before becoming an Indy 500 Champion.
