Penn Coaches Work At Indy Race With KISS Legend GENE SIMMONS

June 27, 2007

Statesmen Athletics reports that William Penn University men's basketball coach John Henry and football coach Todd Hafner had a once-in-a-lifetime experience last Sunday when they worked security detail for KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons at a IndyCar Series event at the Iowa Speedway in Newton.

The pair served as bodyguards for the rocker, who is currently the star of the A&E reality series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels". They spent the entire day with Simmons and his entourage as personal crowd control.

Simmons attended the race to promote IndyCar racing. He is part of the "I am Indy" Simmons-Abramson marketing campaign. Throughout the day, he signed autographs and took pictures with fans, while also meeting with drivers.

"We had the best job in all of Iowa on Sunday," Henry said. "We had an all-access pass to a major sporting event with the greatest rock star of all time. It was as wild and fun as you would expect. Mr. Simmons took time for every single fan for five straight hours."
