Chizmark Larson Returns to IndyCar
Posted Thursday, May 27, 2010
JOLIET, Ill., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Motorsports Division of the Chizmark and Larson Insurance agency announced today the personal sponsorship of Izod IndyCar® Series (IRL) driver, Mario Moraes.
Moraes, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is currently competing in his third full year of the IRL. The 21 year old driver of the No. 32 IndyCar qualified in the 13th position for Sunday's running of the 2010 Indianapolis 500. For some, 13 might be considered an unlucky number, but certainly not for Moraes, as he also happens to be currently tied with Marco Andretti for the 13th spot in the championship standings.
"Mario is the first person I ever sponsored in racing," said Mike Larson, Motorsports Division Agent. "I really feel like we are coming full circle by joining him once again as a sponsor and supporter. As far as I am concerned, he is the top up and coming driver of the IRL."
Larson, who became involved with Moraes while with an International gourmet food company in his 2008 rookie year, will be placing the Chizmark Larson decal on Moraes' helmet for the 2010 season, beginning with the May 30th, historical Indy 500 race.
"I think it is great to return to my first sponsor in the IRL during 2008," said Moraes. "It is a great opportunity to get back together in time for one of the most important races in the world."
"I am extremely excited to be sponsoring Mario again," said Larson, sharing Moraes' excitement. "We look for good things to come in the future for him. From the moment I met him, I have always been very impressed with Mario, as an IRL driver and also as a person."
Chizmark Larson has already branched out into the motorsports community as an official sponsor of the World of Outlaws, as well as the 2009 UMP Champion, Jason Feger. The Moraes sponsorship will run in conjunction with another foray into another exciting series that is featured on SPEED, to be announced next week.
"Chizmark Larson Insurance agency is taking another big step forward by sponsoring Mario in the IRL series as a sign of our commitment and success in the motorsports insurance and racing community," explained Larson.
Celebrating their 60th year in business, Chizmark Larson is committed to insuring the racing community from race teams to the individual driver. Also, while offering coverage to US based sanctioning bodies, promoters, and sponsors, they cover off-track storage and contents of competition vehicles, trailers, and racing equipment as well. World-wide coverage is also available for teams that compete outside of the United States. For further information regarding motorsports insurance log onto www.chizmarklarson.com.

Chizmark Larson Insurance and Professional Skaters Association Announce Partnership to Benefit PSA Members
Posted Thursday, April 15, 2010
Joliet, IL (PRWEB) April 15, 2010 -- Chizmark Larson Insurance Agency has announced their new partnership with the Professional Skaters Association (PSA) to offer insurance and related programs, catered towards the specific needs of professional skaters.
"PSA is excited to begin a relationship and endorsement of the insurance products they sale," said Jim Santee, Executive Director for PSA.
Realizing the needs of self-employed figure skating coaches, Chizmark Larson reached out to the PSA to help put together a program that offers everything from life insurance, to disability programs.
As a former figure skater, and current part-time coach, Francine Larson contacted the PSA after reading an article last year in the PSA publication THE PROFESSIONAL SKATER magazine. The feature referred to the importance of life insurance for the members of the association.
"Figure skating coaches are mainly self-employed," said Francine Larson, Chizmark Larson agent. "When I saw that article, and with my passion for skating and background in finance, it struck a cord with me."
"I am still very much a part of the skating world, and, basically, when I saw the need I knew I was actually in the lucky position to be able to help fill it."
"Together the PSA and Chizmark Larson are committed to supplying easy access to the tools needed to make sure all of the PSA members are preparing for their future," Mike Larson, Chizmark Larson agent, further informed.
The PSA, organized in 1938, has grown to a current membership of over 6,000. These members include coaches, performing professionals, judges, manufacturers, officials and patrons. Also, over 100% of all U.S. Olympic and World coaches are PSA members.
Celebrating their 50th year in business, Chizmark Larson is committed to insuring the racing community from race teams to the individual driver. Also, while offering coverage to US based sanctioning bodies, promoters, and sponsors, they cover off-track storage and contents of competition vehicles, trailers, and racing equipment as well.

Partnership Gives Chizmark Larson Insurance Platform to Express Importance of Being Covered
Posted Monday, Mar 08, 2010
Concord, NC — The World Racing Group announced today that Chizmark Larson Insurance Agency is a Proud Sponsor of the World of Outlaws. Specializing in affordable insurance for racers and race teams, Chizmark Larson will help fill an immediate need as the racing season heads into full swing.
“As an associate sponsor of reigning DIRTcar UMP Late Model National Champion Jason Feger, we immediately began to see the value offered by the World Racing Group and are excited about moving forward in a larger role over the next two years,” said Mike Larson, motorsports division agent. “We specialize in offering affordable insurance for racers and race teams. With many insurance companies unable to insure members and equipment in the high-risk world of racing, we saw the need to help protect against the possible financial loss of fire, theft, or even disability while recovering from a race-related accident.”
As the economy has tightened and sponsorship dollars are in short supply, many racers no longer have back-up funds to instantly replace stolen or damaged equipment. Other unfortunate circumstances, such as sustaining a physical injury on the track, can also be covered with the proper insurance policy.
“Racers don’t always think about insurance because they’re so focused on what they’re doing,” said Tim McCreadie, the 2006 World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion who wasn’t covered by a health insurance program when he suffered a serious back injury during the 2009 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals. “After I sustained my injury, I realized how important insurance is. Racers need to make sure they have some sort of coverage because anything can happen in this sport.”
Celebrating its 60th year in business, Chizmark Larson is committed to insuring the racing community from teams to drivers. Also, while offering coverage to U.S.-based sanctioning bodies, promoters and sponsors, it covers off-track storage and contents of competition vehicles, trailers and racing equipment, as well. Worldwide coverage is also available for teams that compete outside of the United States.
Chizmark Larson prides itself in offering all the lines of insurance needed to protect your team, driver and equipment to make your racing season successful. For further information, visit www.chizmarklarson.com. For price quotes contact Mike Larson at Mike@ChizmarkLarson.com or 815-725-6527.
Chizmark Larson Insurance Agency signs associate sponsorship with UMP Champion Feger
Posted Friday, Jan 29, 2010
Concord, NC — Chizmark Larson Insurance Agency announced today their associate sponsorship of reigning UMP DIRTcar National Champion Jason Feger. The new sponsorship comes on the forefront of Ferger’s ninth year behind the wheel of his Late Model.
“We are really excited about our sponsorship with Jason,” stated Mike Larson. “This is really our first foray into Late Model Dirt Grassroots racing, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to work with the numerous drivers, teams, series, sponsors and tracks.”
“I think this is going to be a really good match,” said Feger. “A lot of the drivers and teams aren’t insured not because they don’t want to be, but because they don’t even know it is available. Mike can help them by explaining what they need, and what their options are.
“I know I had never really thought much about coverage, other than hoping my equipment didn’t get stolen or there wasn’t a fire. I had no idea how easy the process would be, or how affordable insurance actually is.
