Race season is over. Yet, we hear a roar, we hear a rumble, and we hear the cheers of racers, teams, and their suppliers in Indianapolis every December at the PRI Show.
What is the PRI Show you ask? The Performance Racing Industry (PRI) has served the motorsports industry’s key source of trends, merchandising ideas, new products, business strategies and more since 1986. PRI hosts the annual event/tradeshow/demonstrations and publishes a monthly magazine for motorsports industry members all over the world. PRI was founded by racing entrepreneur Steve Lewis and was purchased by SEMA in 2012.
