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.
