Celebrating its 30th year, the Contingency Connection is THE largest grassroots, weekly motorsports marketing platform in the country.

​

The Contingency Connection includes nearly 100 tracks and traveling series, 100 performance manufacturers and sponsors, 3,000 performance shops, engine builders and machine shops, and over 5 million attendees! The program includes tracks and series with almost every sanction such as NASCAR, IMCA, WISSOTA, USAC, Outlaw Truck and Tractor, NHRA, and IHRA. Competition includes Circle, Dirt, Paved, Drag, Tractor Pull, Off-road, Diesel, Mud Bogs, Sand Drags, Import, and Motorcycle events. With this type of platform Contingency Connection is able to attract sponsorship from major companies for member tracks, series, shops, engine builders, and racers.

​

Contingency Connection is Simple and Effective: 
The Contingency Connection unites nearly 100 grassroots tracks and series giving them all of the benefits of being one large organization. In turn, major companies and sponsors get the best advertising value possible because they can buy into our bulk network of tracks, series, engine builders, and fans. Most importantly, grassroots racers receive sponsorship support that they deserve and need.
 

• Alone, tracks and series may not have the volume of racers needed to attract major sponsors.

• Alone, manufacturers may not be able to justify time and money spent on one type of racing.

• Alone, weekly grassroots racers may not attract national sponsorship dollars

• Alone, performance shops, engine builders, and machine shops may not receive manufacturer discounts and awards. 
   

But with Contingency Connection’s unification of tracks, sponsors, racers, shops, and fans — EVERYONE is a WINNER!

Racers:

Contingency Connection delivers $50,000-$100,000 in weekly Racer Rewards to member tracks & series helping local grassroots racers pay their racing expenses--so they can afford to race more often!  Local racers simply run sponsor decals for products they use (or would like to use) and win money-saving discounts from top performance manufacturers immediately upon their race win.  Contingency Connection also provides end-of-season Championship Bonus & Banquet Awards making the Racer Rewards program a full-season, grassroots rewards program for hometown tracks, series, and racers.

​

Corporate Sponsors/Manufacturers:
The Contingency Connection coordinates race-marketing promotions for sponsors and manufacturers on-site at all Contingency Connection tracks and racing series, making it the largest, most effective way to promote products and services at the grassroots racing level. Sponsors and manufacturers simply sign up for ONE turn-key program and they receive NATIONAL exposure directly to target end-users all over the USA and Canada. Contingency Connection cuts through the clutter of other marketing programs by directly linking sponsors to fans, racers, engine builders, and machine shops.

Tracks and Traveling Series:
Contingency Connection offers member tracks and series nearly 10 million dollars in sponsorship awards to reward their loyal racers, attract new racers, increase car counts, and increase profitability. Alone a track may not have enough racers or spectators to attract sponsorship dollars, but with Contingency Connection’s unification of tracks, series, engine builders and machine shops; every track is considered a BIG track and receives the same sponsorship dollars. Contingency Connection is a FIRST of its kind, NATIONALLY sponsored program for hometown tracks and series offering a complete sponsorship package including a $100,000 weekly contingency program, end-of-season champion bonus programs, and banquet awards to increase track success and profitability.
