PRI Honors Top Products at 2021 Trade Show

The Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show has released a full list of award-winning new products revealed at the event in Indianapolis earlier this month, the organization announced.

In all, nearly 30 parts and accessories were recognized by a panel of 12 judges representing traditional and new media, as well as sanctioning bodies and racetracks, from more than 340 entries in the PRI Show’s popular Featured Products Showcase, the organization said. Entries are submitted by PRI exhibitors throughout the year and were displayed in a dedicated area of Lucas Oil Stadium during the Show.

This year’s Featured Product Awards judging, which took place on day one (December 9) of the three-day show, identified products across eight separate categories—Accessory, Chassis, Drivetrain, Engine, In-Vehicle/Electronic/Telemetry, Race Fluid, Shop Equipment and Suspension—along with Judge’s Pick for overall excellence.

A total of 25 PRI exhibitors received either a Judge’s Pick or a Category Award through the program. The complete list of winners is below and can also be found on the PRI website, with additional information about the Featured Product Awards.
