T.O.P.S. HQ PRESENTED BY MYRACEPASS.COM EMPOWERS RACETRACK PROFESSIONALS AT
2025 PRI SHOW

-- Dedicated headquarters will deliver three days of targeted education and networking for track operators, promoters, and sanctioning body leaders --

 

INDIANAPOLIS (Dec. 2, 2025) -- Motorsports track operators, promoters, and sanctioning body leadership and staff will have a dedicated headquarters to conduct business, learn from industry leaders, and grow their professional networks at the 2025 PRI Show.

   

Happening Dec. 11-13 in rooms 240-245 of the Indiana Convention Center, T.O.P.S. HQ Presented by MyRacePass.com will offer over 42 sessions and learning opportunities designed to help racetrack professionals strengthen their business. Beyond the educational sessions, the relaxed setting provides the ideal place to engage in peer-to-peer discussions, schedule meetings, take a break, and connect with peers. T.O.P.S. HQ Presented by MyRacePass.com is also supported by Gearhead Events and PJH Trackbite. 

 

“T.O.P.S. HQ is a cornerstone for strengthening the motorsports ecosystem,” said PRI President Michael Good. “By fostering deeper relationships with sanctioning bodies, promoters, and racetracks, we ensure the foundation of our sport remains strong and adaptable. These connections are critical for driving innovation, sustaining local economies, and creating opportunities for the next generation of racers.” 

 

Racetracks play a vital role in motorsports, serving as launchpads for young people to discover the sport, for competitors to sharpen their skills, and local economies to thrive. According to the 2024 PRI State of the Racing Market Report, 50% of racetracks earn more than half of their revenue from races, underscoring the importance of staying competitive and adapting to industry shifts.
