Thanks to these Contingency Sponsors
 

I wanted to thank the following Contingency sponsors for making the process painless. Thanks to Jegs, Summit, JE, Moser, Hoosier, and Crew Chief Pro. These guys stepped up and paid quickly. While I appreciate all the companies that post I especially appreciate those that make it easy. Now if the others would make it this easy. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Last thing I won (probably last ever) was Div 4 race @Noble, OK in 2017. Those you mentioned paid well. Some I never collected. I finally gave up, and removed the decals from the non-payers.

I still haven't heard from Jeg's, Summit or Hoosier. Odd they would pay you and not me yet? Jim

Jim,you need to contact the contingency rep from those companies and make sure NHRA has sent them your info.

Jim,

I can tell you from being on the other side of it and being responsible for making sure the racer is paid that in my situation this often comes down to not having a W9 on file for the racer. NHRA is the only sanctioning body that i deal with that does not provide me with a Federal ID # for payment.

When i receive the claims for an event i run through my list to see who i already have on file and complete the information internally. The ones that i do not have a number for get an email sent followed by a letter so sometimes there is a delay in payment while i wait to receive that information. I try to get the racers paid quickly, but you would be surprised how many requests i send out that do not get returned.

We have four postings between three brands and rarely does a divisional event come back with under a dozen claims and i have had a national event with well over a hundred (with class postings) so having the Federal ID number along with the claim would be a huge time saver for me and would cut down the time that it takes to get a lot of claims paid. This is something that i have asked for several times the past few years with no success, but i also understand it is something NHRA legal tries to steer clear of. Some companies might pay without requiring a W9, but with the number of claims we pay a year we simply cannot.

As far as companies that simply choose to not pay, well that is entirely another story and is pretty pathetic. You made a commitment to the racer by participating in the program. If the racer upheld their end of the deal, uphold yours.

The contingency program is a way to reward the racers who support you for their performance.


To be clear here, I don't owe Jim any money. I was using Jim's reply to hopefully give a reason for a delay to others.

The 2 races I have won, I got paid by all 13 of the contingency sponsors that should have paid me. It may have taken several months but I got paid. Mr. Carroll is correct, I ended up reaching out to all of them within 30 days and the W9 was the biggest hangup. I did have to send a few winners circle pics to some also.

Hope you end up collecting all of your monies!

Re: Thanks to these Contingency Sponsors
 

I am waiting on six more and have not received a reply to the emails I sent them. I will call next week.

Re: Thanks to these Contingency Sponsors
 

Jim, Jegs Summit and Hoosier are typically the fastest to respond in my experience so it may not hurt to reach out to them if you haven't already. Last year I received an email 2 days after my National event claim from NHRA stated my claim had been submitted. After my divisional claim it was a couple weeks before I received my email.
