PRI is a time for celebration on a year well done, and the Mid-West Pro Mod Series does exactly that as well. Series Founder, Keith Haney awarded those Champions today.

It was a day for awards here at PRI in Indianapolis, IN. The convention center is full of industry leaders, whether it is drag racing, circle track, dirt track, or anything else. These three days in December are a time to celebrate a job well done for the past 11 months.

At the Drag Illustrated both we did just that today. With Drag Illustrated Founder Wes Buck hosting the awards presentation, Keith handed off beautiful trophies, and handed over his #1 standing in two of the three classes to other drivers.

Wrapping up the class awards was the X275 class, it was Shane Heckel runner-up accepting his award before Kenny Hubbard, another Texas legend, was awarded his Championship trophy. Kenny won the championship by almost 100 points over Shane. Look for both of them to battle it out in 2019 as well.
