Danica Patrick’s Indy 500 Podium Finish

AUTO RACING – INDY 500 – Indianapolis, IN
Danica Patrick, wearing Kaenon Polarized Sunglasses in the yet to be released BURNET™, started 10th and finished 3rd – locking in a career-best Indy 500 performance. With her first podium finish at the brickyard, Danica rounded out a much hype filled month of May with a respectable 3rd place! She continues to build on her celebrity (countless commercial time was filled with Danica ads promoting several products), while confirming her unmistakable driving ability with the big boys on the track at over 200mph. In addition to Danica’s racing abilities, she has a great sense of style and fashion. As a long time supporter of Kaenon Polarized, her design and fashion wisdom has inspired our designers on several color treatments and products, including the stylish Calais model and the new Tobacco Denim color in the popular Georgia. In working with her on the lens’ performance as well as frame performance and styling, she has been a part of Kaenon’s design and engineering process every step of the way. Danica alternates between her favorites and can be seen wearing CALAIS, GEORGIA, BURNY, EDEN, and KABIN accessorizing depending on activity, style and preference.

Ryan Briscoe starting on the front row led briefly and had a strong run till a strange, bad set of tires caused him to lose traction and valuable speed, having to pit to fix the problem with a new set of Firestones. He was never a factor after that.

Next up is the Milwaukee Mile, televised live this Sunday, again on ABC.

Kaenon Polarized SR-91 Lenses – True Driving Performance

The development of SR-91® began in the lab. But the real test of our lens technology happens where it matters most – on championship-level athletes who require performance. Where all the talk stops, and reality is measured by results. On the road, field, course, snow, trail, and water. Only SR-91 polarized lenses perform at the highest level like no other – without compromise.

Whether on the track or driving down the street, road warriors of all types can benefit from Kaenon Polarized SR-91 lenses, which provide a safer and more pleasurable driving experience.

• SR-91 offers glare reduction at optimum levels to eliminate glare from road surfaces and the dash of your car so you can see potential road hazards.
• Extremely light weight provides all-day comfort.
• Light Transmission Control technology tunes the light for different driving and lighting conditions.
• High-resolution optics provide unparalleled clarity.

Only SR-91 polarized lenses perform at the highest level – without compromise. No other lens offers better clarity, impact-protection, and glare-reduction all in one ultra-lightweight lens.

It has long been thought that the best method to spot water hazards on the road is by identifying the mirror-like reflection they emit. Actually, glare off of a road surface (or other vehicles) can prove to be distracting, dangerous and even blinding. Unfortunately, inferior polarized lenses distort your vision and depth perception – which tend to offset the glare-reducing benefits of polarization.

With Kaenon’s proprietary SR-91 polarized lenses, blinding glare is eliminated. Consequently, you are able to see the road clearly, with true depth perception and color representations. As a result, you are now able to see water hazards and changes in terrain for what they are. This allows you an opportunity to react and to make necessary adjustments rather than wondering what might be underneath the blinding glare reflecting up from the road.

Danica Patrick has inspired some of the styles that Kaenon has produced over the years. In working with her on the lens’ performance and also the frame performance and styling, she has been a part of Kaenon’s design and engineering process every step of the way. Most recently she has inspired the metal inlay on the CALAIS model. More of her inspiration will be seen toward the end of this year with the addition of three new styles. Currently, her go-to pieces are CALAIS, GEORGIA, BURNY and EDEN.

Ryan Briscoe is a man who knows performance when he sees it. He has locked on to our popular JETTY style and mixes it up with its range of frame colors – from Seaweed to Matte Black. But one thing always remains the same – the SR-91 G12 lens which gives him ultimate visual performance.
