IndyCar Legend Tony Kanaan to Kick Off 2023 PRI Show in Indianapolis 

 

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (Sept. 19, 2023) -- Racing icon Tony Kanaan will welcome attendees to the biggest three days in motorsports business as the headline guest at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show’s annual Grand Opening Breakfast on December 7 in Indianapolis. 

 

An annual tradition for thousands of motorsports professionals from all over the world, the breakfast takes place the morning of the first day of the PRI Show and symbolizes the official start of the three-day event. 

 

“It’s always special to welcome an Indy 500 winner to the PRI Show,” said PRI Trade Show Director Karin Davidson. “Not only is Tony a champion on the track, but he’s also a favorite of race fans all over the country, and we’re excited to have him kick off this year’s PRI Show.” 

 

Joined onstage by veteran commentator and announcer Ralph Sheheen, the two will engage in a free-flowing, fun-informative conversation that is sure to be filled with stories from Kanaan’s race-winning career. 

 

Kanaan is an open wheel racing icon with a celebrated 25-year career. Since his debut in 1998, a season in which he won CART Rookie of the Year, Kanaan has captured 17 wins, one IndyCar Series championship, 15 poles and 134 top five finishes. 

 

In 23 career starts in the Indianapolis 500, Kanaan has led a total of 367 laps, including laps in his first seven “500s.” His Indy 500 victory came in 2013, his 12th start at the Brickyard. 

 

Kanaan is IndyCar’s iron man with 389 starts – second only to Mario Andretti – including 318 consecutive starts, a series record. During his 2004 IndyCar Series title winning season, Kanaan became the first IndyCar driver to complete every lap of every race. 

 

He’s won championships in multiple series and events, including Indy Lights, IndyCar, 12 Hours at Sebring (LMP2) and Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.    

 

Doors to the Grand Opening Breakfast open at 7 a.m., and the program begins at 7:45 a.m. The breakfast is free to all PRI attendees, but guests are advised to arrive early as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. 

 

The 2023 PRI Show takes place December 7-9 at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. The Show floor opens immediately after the breakfast and will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors showcasing the latest products, services, machinery, simulation and testing technologies, and trailers for the racing industry in a single location. PRI encompasses all forms of motorsports and attracts attendees from all 50 states and all over the world, including professional race teams, retail shops, warehouse distributors, engine builders, fabricators, dealers, installers, jobbers and media.

National Motorsports Press association

http://www.nmpa.com

For more than 55 years, the National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) has honored writers, broadcasters and photo journalists from news outlets covering a broad range of motorsports. Originally a NASCAR-centric organization, the NMPA now welcomes members covering the IndyCar Series, IMSA, USAC, ARCA, drag racing, and Supercross, to name a few. The NMPA honors both its own members and motorsports competitors with awards such as the NMPA Most Popular Driver, the NMPA Pocono Spirit Award, the Myers Brothers Award, Joe Littlejohn Award, the Ken Patterson Helping Others Award and the Wood Brothers Award of Excellence.


Gio Scelzi, Spencer Bayston, Brad Sweet, and the Knoxville Raceway safety team have been voted the third quarter recipients of the NMPA Pocono Spirit

DARLINGTON, South Carolina – Carson Macedo found himself in a situation every race car driver fears when his sprint car flipped and caught on fire in June, but quick action by those around him resulted in a positive outcome.

In recognition of their actions, Gio Scelzi, Spencer Bayston, Brad Sweet, and the Knoxville Raceway safety team have been voted the third quarter recipients of the NMPA Pocono Spirit Award. In a chilling scene, the group jumped into action when Macedo’s car hit the wall, flipped multiple times, and then burst into flames as he was initially knocked unconscious. As the safety crew was quick on the scene, the drivers ran from their cars to help pull their fellow competitor to safety.

Macedo was transported to a hospital but released the following day. He returned to racing the next week with minor burns and a rib injury.

The group is now eligible for the year-end NMPA Pocono Spirit Award, which is also voted on by NMPA membership. It is presented at the annual convention.

Other nominees who received votes were Julie Giese, Greg Van Alst, Shane van Gisbergen, the Bandimere family, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Ellis, Alex Bowman, Darin Mock and Isabella Robusto.

Established in 1992 and supported by Pocono Raceway, the Spirit Award is designed to recognize character and achievement in the face of adversity, sportsmanship and contributions to motor sports. It is also meant to acknowledge competitors who have overcome illness, injury, or tragedy to return to racing.
