I might be wrong,but I think the contingency sponsors put up the contingency money and the sanctioning bodies get to keep the money that isn't claimed.For example,if someone was to win a race with a particular brand of slicks,then the other companies that are posting contingency would not have a contingency winner in that class at that race.There is no way for somebody to win a race using three different brands of tires.Instead of just not paying the contingency,the money is paid directly to NHRA/IHRA.They post money in every class at every race whether somebody uses their product or not.That is the way it was explained to me years ago.
