He has owned and operated Landon Simon Racing since 2014 and has raced a variety of USAC, BOSS, MSCS, Powri, and various other series’ races over the years in sprint cars, 410 wing sprints and midgets.
"This is a dream come true for us to be partnered with such an amazing company run by equally amazing people. This has been in the works for quite some time and all parties have just been waiting for the right moment to put it together. I’m excited to be the forerunner with TNC, bringing this industry into Motorsports,” said Simon.
True North joins existing sponsors Lucas Oil, Jegs Performance, Kings Poultry, The Hayloft, DRC Chassis, Simpson Race Products, Indy Race Parts, Brown and Miller, Duncan Oil, Keizer Wheels, Astro Titanium, Hoosier Tire and High Side Design who will be continuing their support.

About Landon Simon
Landon Simon is an American sprint car driver from Tipp City, Ohio. who was a sprint car fan from the time he was born and even dressed in a Jack Hewitt t-shirt for the drive home from the hospital. He attended his first sprint car race when he was just two weeks old. He was raised around the 120 mph-capable machines and could be found in the race shop trying to mount race tires when he was just three years old. He spent his school years and summer vacations working with the legendary race car driver Jack Hewitt, long-time winged sprint car driver Jimmy Stinson, open wheel veteran Matt Westfall and his father, Chris Simon, who began racing sprint cars in 1990.
His decision to follow in his father's footsteps came about after he was accidentally shot in the chest with a shotgun at a friend's house when he was 17 years old. He was life-flighted to Miami Valley Hospital and spent three days in a coma before he was released. Facing a long road to recovery, Landon decided to pursue his dream of becoming a race car driver. The teen worked hard and turned his dreams into reality by building the first Landon Simon Racing sprint car during his senior year of high school and became part of the third generation of Simon sprint car drivers and mechanics.
In 2008 Landon's rookie year consisted of balancing schoolwork, racing and continued rehabilitation for injuries sustained in the accident. That same year, Landon raced his way to Dayton Area Race Fans (D.A.R.F) Rookie of the Year award, Waynesfield Raceway Park (WRP) Rookie of the Year award and finished No. 8 in WRP points. The following years were spent racing across the country as a hired driver, not only out of the LSR stable, but for Indiana and Ohio-based race teams as well.
In the winter of 2013, Landon's drive and passion for the sport led him to Indianapolis to further his racing career against the best drivers in the country. He now resides in Avon, Indiana with his fiancé and their 4 rescue dogs.

rformance Motorsports beginning this weekend.
Simon, who has owned, operated and driven his familiar black, silver and blue No. 24 with support from primary sponsor Mt. Baker Vapor for the past five years, will switch to Best Performance Motorsports’ black, green and blue No. 1 starting this weekend at the Gateway Dirt Nationals and continuing into next year.
“I am really excited about this opportunity and the future at Best Performance Motorsports. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished at LSR the last 5 seasons and look forward to taking that to BPM. Aligning common goals and bridging the gap between Late Model and Sprint Car racing creates a new world of opportunity,” said Simon.
The Best Performance Motorsports super late model team based out of St. Marys, Ohio, has competed full time with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series since 2016, with the team capturing the series championship in 2017 with Josh Richards. The newly formed open wheel team will operate out of Simon’s Indianapolis shop. A full sprint car schedule and additional midget events will be released at a later date.
The Gateway Dirt Nationals is held in The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri and features the largest indoor dirt track in America, with a semi-banked fifth-mile dirt surface. The temporary oval within the 67,000-seat stadium on the Mississippi River will see midget racing for the first time this week.
“I can’t wait to debut this new partnership at Gateway. Last year we worked with event promoter Cody Sommer and did some testing at The Dome. The atmosphere in there is unreal. I can’t thank him enough for giving us another great event,” added the 29-year-old Simon.
LANDON SIMON HIRED GUN FOR CLOVER MOTORSPORTS DURING PENNSYLVANIA MIDGET WEEK

LANDON SIMON HIRED GUN FOR CLOVER MOTORSPORTS DURING PENNSYLVANIA MIDGET WEEK
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 25, 2017) --- Clover Motorsports has recruited sprint car driver Landon Simon to compete in the Pennsylvania portion of USAC Midget Week August 13-17. He will drive the Dan Brenner, Mt. Baker Vapor backed Fontana powered Elite Chassis in his first USAC midget week appearance.
Racing for Simon and Clover Motorsports will start on August 13 at Susquehanna Speedway, followed by races at Path Valley and Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway, then end on August 17 at Linda’s Speedway in Jonestown, PA.
“I’m very excited to get behind the wheel of this car and I’m extremely honored to have been asked to come race for such a great team; such a great group of guys. This is a big opportunity and should really be a great week of racing,” said Simon. “To say the Pennsylvania fans are some of the best in the nation is an understatement. Racing is a way of life and though race fans in general are some of the most dedicated, supportive and loyal followers of a sport, PA fans make drivers want to race at those race tracks.”
Simon’s primary sponsor Mt Baker Vapor will be represented on the race car and in the area during Midget Week.
“To have Mt Baker Vapor featured on a race car driven by Landon Simon, who has been a consistent advocate for our brand and our vision, is truly exciting stuff,” said James Thompson, owner and CEO of Mt Baker Vapor. “For us at Mt Baker Vapor, we believe that a lifelong customer starts with relationship building. And in order for a relationship to manifest, simply speaking, people need to know who we are. Our main goal during this year’s Pennsylvania Midget Week is to engage, build exposure and if time permits, watch some awesome racing! Words can’t explain how excited Mt Baker Vapor is to have a presence during one of the biggest racing weeks of the year,”
Clover Motorsports was created with the partnering of Meshey Motorsports and Ryan Wilson Racing. Since its inception they have fielded cars in the winged 410 and most recently the ARDC/USAC midget ranks. They have had success on both levels with Michael Meshey turning wrenches and Ryan Wilson as the pilot. They are backed by the dedicated team of Matt Paulsen with additional help from Kenny Heighes and Cole Meshey.
“We are very excited to have Landon come on board for the Pennsylvania portion of USAC Midget Week. Ryan and Myself discussed having a driver come in and run the car for the week. We came up with a short list of drivers that had both midget and big car experience as well as a stellar track record with the fans. We decided to start contacting drivers. During my conversation with Landon we discussed loyalty, sponsorship awareness and fan appreciation. The excitement between Landon and myself in that conversation was contagious. After the discussions between Ryan and myself, the choice was obvious it had to be Landon.”
"We feel as though Landon gives us a great chance to finish the week strong. He has the ability and desire to pilot our Dan Brenner, Mt. Baker Vapor backed Fontana powered Elite Chassis to the checkers night after night. We at Clover Motorsports, our team, sponsors and most importantly our fans are excited for the opportunity to work together with Landon.”
"None of this would be possible without the constant support from the Meshey and Wilson families as well as all of our beloved fans, friends and loved ones," said Meshey. "We are hoping for a Great Week!"
