Highlighting Our 2020 MRFKC Champions - Elias McKenzie

As we highlight our 2020 champions our next driver is the 2020 MRFKC Briggs Junior Lite Champion, Elias McKenzie. Elias had a memorable 2020 season, winning four out of six races on his way to the title.

Elias also noted, in his favourite moment of the season, when he was awarded the Champion Fine Tuned Award at Canadian Mini Indy.
