Opposite of props when due

To receive contingency payments, why would a racer be considered either a vendor or a supplier? What did they give to the contingency provider in exchange for the reward? Are they taking the position that the racer supplied/vended publicity to the manufacturer in exchange for payment?

That's the whole idea behind covering your car with stickers, isn't it? Certainly not to improve the looks, right?

Well, imagine this, I received my Class Winner CHECK from them yesterday for Gainesville....

So, as a follow up, I emailed the contact listed for Chevrolet yesterday. Contact name is Derek Werner at jackmorton.com Their website states they're a "global brand experience agency", whatever that means.

I said I really didn't want to register as a supplier, and would simply prefer a check as had been done for years. Derek responded quickly and said he had no idea why I would have received that email from IPG, and that I should be receiving my check soon.

Moral of the story, even if an email comes from a "trusted source" that you've dealt with previously (and I do believe it to have been legitimate), question and push back if you don't like what's being presented.
