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.
What is it
The U.S. Majors Tour® is the pinnacle of championship racing in North America.
This isn’t Easy Street. This is where America’s best amateur drivers race. It means start-to-finish, wheel-to-wheel action. It’s where drivers not only put their cars on the track, they put their pride on the line.
Make no mistake, this is not country club driving. The kindred spirit found here is mixed with fuel and emotion. Adrenaline pumps a little harder here.
Take a close look. It’s not for everyone. If you long for the flag that welcomes or denies you, we have a spot for you. Welcome to the Majors.
