Contingency programs are offered by manufacturers and industry partners as a way to reward racers for their participation and performance. In most cases, competitors simply need to register for the program and display the sponsor’s decals on their race car. Eligible finishers can then earn awards that may include cash payouts, certificates, discounts, or products. Depending on the program, competitors can earn valuable prizes without even standing on the podium.

Details
The SCCA RallyCross National Championship is an open-entry national championship. If:
- You are an SCCA member,
- Your car is legal for an eligible national class, and
- You register before the event fills,
you can compete at RallyCross Nationals. There is no points requirement, license requirement, or minimum number of regional events you must complete beforehand.
However, given the often huge demand to participate, there is a tiered registration period. Early registration access is given to previous National Champions, event chiefs, Divisional Challenge winners, and past participants.
