Laris Motorsports Insurance - Thunder Alley & Heat Race
Laris Motorsports Insurance was built specifically for racers. With over 80 years in the insurance industry, and over 60 years involved in racing, this isn’t something we stepped into from the outside, we built this company because we saw firsthand where other policies were falling short. Most racers today are insured through either a collector car policy or a standard auto policy that’s been adapted to racing. Those policies are typically written to cover very specific situations — and anything outside of that is excluded. We cover the full racing operation, not just the car, but including trailers, tools, parts, pit vehicles, and motorhomes. The goal is to eliminate those common gaps that racers don’t realize they have. Most policies were adapted to racing — ours was built for it.
