PRI has announced a major enhancement to the 2025 PRI Show, December 11-13, downtown Indianapolis, with the debut of the PRI Paddock, a new activation at the grand entrance of the Indiana Convention Center. A centerpiece of the experience is the Show's iconic hanging car, this year represented by the Matco Tools Top Fuel dragster driven by four-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion Antron Brown, continuing a long-standing PRI tradition. 

The Paddock includes a live stage featuring exclusive live interviews, and standout vehicles representing the breadth of racing disciplines at the Show, including a BMW M4 GT3 EVO from SRO GT World Challenge America powered by AWS, a Honda Civic from SCCA Time Attack, a TRAD PRO4 custom off-road truck from Amsoil Champ Off Road, a Schnee-Lawson Sprint Car from the High Limit Racing Series and a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano from Formula Drift. It reflects PRI's commitment to supporting the entire racing community from grassroots competitors to professional teams and manufacturers while connecting attendees with the industry leaders and innovators shaping motorsports. 

"Racing is at the heart of everything we do, and the 2025 PRI Show brings that energy front and center with the debut of the PRI Paddock," said PRI President Michael Good. "This is about creating an experience that reflects PRI's role as the hub for innovation and collaboration in motorsports. The Paddock strengthens our strategy to connect the entire racing community, from racers and teams to manufacturers and fans, while showcasing the creativity and passion that drive the industry forward." 

Throughout all three days of the PRI Show, the PRI Paddock stage will host driver appearances, industry conversations, expert interviews and opportunities for fans to interact with some of the most influential voices in motorsports. Attendees may also see a surprise visit from a favorite racing driver or team owner. 

"The PRI Paddock gives attendees an unforgettable first impression of the Show," said PRI Show Director Karin Davidson. "With live interviews and standout vehicles, fans and industry professionals can connect, learn and celebrate all aspects of racing."
