Progressive Racing Engines is operated in Miami Gardens, Florida, by partners Steve McInnis and Brian Hintz. It was founded in late 1988 with the intent of producing power plants for off-shore motorsports such as power boat racing. While McInnis and Hintz enjoyed working in the marine Motorsports world, they eventually began to do some projects for circle track competitors as well. Circle track racing has now become the main focus of Progressive Racing Engines, building motors for racers all over the United States, including its Sealed Super Late Model Spec Engine, approved for use in the ARCA/CRA Super Series. ARCA/CRA Super Series competitors who use Progressive Racing Engines include Brian Campbell, Johnny VanDoorn, Stephen Nasse and Steve Dorer.
