K&K Insurance was started in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1952 by Nord Krauskopf and his wife Theodora (Teddi) to manage and market a benevolent fund for injured race car drivers.[2]
The company currently belongs to Aon plc.[1]
Summary
As enthusiasts of motorsports, the Krauskopfs understood the risks involved in that kind of work.[2] They designed and marketed products targeted at the motorsport industry, such as race teams, sponsors, and racetrack facilities.[2] They created a racing team to support the business. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Krauskopfs fielded a team for the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.[2] Bobby Isaac (and his crew chief Harry Hyde) led K&K Insurance to a championship win in 1970.[2] This victory brought 54% of Dodges' points needed for a championship victory in the Manufacturer's Championship; breaking a seven-year streak created by the Ford vehicles.[3] These vehicles were mainly Dodge Chargers and Dodge Daytonas.[4]
