This year’s banquet will honor the 2013 series champion, as well as other top series drivers and special award winners from the 61st season in ARCA Racing Series history. It will be the second consecutive year that the banquet will be held in the Sagamore Ballroom at the Indiana Convention Center. The event is open to the public.

“It’s an honor for PRI to have the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule its post-season awards banquet in Indianapolis the week of the PRI Trade Show,” said John Kilroy, producer of the PRI Trade Show. “ARCA has a long and storied heritage of excellence in racing. PRI welcomes all the great ARCA teams to Race Industry Week 2013. We have 1100 exhibiting companies who certainly want to meet up with all of them at the PRI Trade Show!”

The banquet reception will take place from 5-6:15 p.m., with the awards program scheduled to start about 6 p.m. The event is open to the public, which must buy tickets by Dec. 2. Tickets are $100.
