Performance Racing Industry (PRI) has created the PRI Hall of Fame, an initiative “designed to honor, celebrate and preserve the legacies of difference-makers in the motorsports industry.”
The inaugural class of the PRI Hall of Fame will be revealed Dec. 12 during the Grand Opening Breakfast at the 2024 PRI Show in Indianapolis.
Chosen through a rigorous selection process with transparent criteria, the inductees will be honored for their career accomplishments, impact on the sport, contributions to innovation, sportsmanship, leadership qualities and overall influence within the racing community, PRI officials stated in a press release.
“The PRI Hall of Fame not only aims to recognize the individuals who have made a significant impact on the industry, but also preserve the history and heritage of racing, inspire future generations of industry leaders and foster a sense of community within the motorsports world,” said Michael Good, PRI president. “We invite the entire racing industry to join us during the Grand Opening Breakfast at the PRI Show to celebrate the inaugural class of the PRI Hall of Fame and their contributions to the industry.”
Inductees will be decided by a committee of voters established by PRI. Selected candidates will have exemplified and modeled innovation and positive change within the industry and contributed to its success through individual effort and passion, the release noted.
Considerations for qualification include:
- Their contributions must have extended to the national and/or international level.
- The candidate is/was involved with the motorsports industry and/or PRI for at least 10 years (15 years or more preferred).
- The candidate has made outstanding contributions toward enhancing the technology, professionalism, dignity and/or general stature, and growth of the motorsports industry and PRI.
- The candidate must have conducted themselves with a high degree of integrity both within and outside of the motorsports industry.
