This helmet was worn by 1998 Indianapolis 500 winner Eddie Cheever Jr. during the 2001 Indy Racing League season. Featuring Cheever’s iconic “starburst” design, the layout is painted in a brilliant blend of red, white, blue, and gold with a pearlescent finish that catches the light from every angle.
Most notably, this helmet is fitted with a signed amber visor bearing the handwritten inscription:
“Eddie – Indy 98” – commemorating his legendary victory at the Brickyard. The bold Excite.com visor strip reflects Cheever’s primary sponsorship during the early 2000s—making this a perfect time capsule of internet-era IndyCar branding.
