Eric Prill, of Topeka, Kansas, was a perfect eight-for-eight in the Mid-States Majors that he entered. In addition to winning those races, Prill took the win after sitting on the pole for each race. His streak of wins included wins at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, Kansas Speedway, High Plains Raceway and Pueblo Motorsports Park.

This was Prill’s fourth Majors title, dating back to the pilot season in 2012.

“It’s a great accomplishment to win a Majors conference championship, especially when you have great competition,” Prill said. “This year, I raced against some very good racers in the conference and they really push you to be on your ‘A’ game. Guys like National Champion Kevin Ruck, Sam Henry and Bill Hingston. It’s my fourth-straight Mid-States Majors Championship and it’s the first one that I swept all eight races I ran, so I guess this one has to be the best!”

While everything seemed to be clicking on all cylinders, Prill did have some struggles to overcome throughout the season.

“The middle of the season was a killer,” Prill said. “I went out of conference and ran Mid-Ohio, so I did four events in eight weeks. I lost a bearing in the middle of that swing, which meant an engine rebuild. That was too a tough stretch - too much time away from home between racing and work commitments.”

For Prill, the turning point of the season was averting disaster during one of the Colorado race weekends.

“I dodged a major bullet at High Plains Raceway,” Prill said. “I had low oil pressure from the outset. I checked for bearing material in the oil filter, and it looked okay so I thought it might be a stuck pressure relief valve. I ran the weekend with much lower pressure than I’d have liked and the engine made it through. Afterward, I pulled it apart and found that I had lost a main bearing. Luckily, the rest of the engine was fine!”

Prill was sure to thank everyone who made the 2015 racing season a possibility.

“I can’t go out and have fun if I don’t have the support of my family, so huge thanks to my wife and son,” Prill said. “Jesse Prather Motorsports, Mazdaspeed, Hoosier Tire, Carbotech, Electromotive and Summit Racing all offer great support to make it all happen!”
