Our friends at Mid America Motorworks bring us an update to their recovery efforts after their campus was destroyed by a tornado in June. This week on the Corvette Today Podcast, Michael Yager takes the guest chair to tell us all about their recovery efforts and future plans.

Mid America Motorworks has been serving the Corvette community for over 52 years.

In mid-June of 2026, a devastating tornado ripped through Effingham, Illinois, home of Mid America Motorworks. It almost completely demolished their business.

Michael Yager, who runs the family business, comes back to CORVETTE TODAY with your host, Steve Garrett, to tell you what happened when the tornado hit, what the facility looks like today and what the future holds for Mid America Motorworks. Michael also tells you about some of the Corvette artifacts and valuable cars that were in the MY Garage Museum and what’s in store for them. Michael outlines the rebuilding process, the timeline and how you can help.

They’re not gone, they are not forgotten – like a Phoenix, Mid America Motorworks raises again! And you’ll hear about it on CORVETTE TODAY.
