Contingency awards added for JEGS Allstars finalists
NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Sportsman racers who qualify for the JEGS Allstars will have extra incentive to perform this year with the addition of nearly $47,000 in manufacturer contingency awards.
Finalists in Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Comp, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman can pad their winnings by using the manufacturers' products and displaying the accompanying decals on their vehicles. Each posting company will pay $100 to the winner in each class and $50 to the runner-up.
The JEGS Allstars will be held Saturday, July 9, at Route 66 Raceway during the Route 66 NHRA Nationals. The event will again feature individual and team competition among racers in each of NHRA's seven geographic regions. The addition of a manufacturer contingency program brings the total available payout of the JEGS Allstars to $146,800.
"We are always looking for ways to improve the JEGS Allstars program and are excited to see such strong manufacturers support for this new program," said Scott Woodruff, director of media and motorsports for JEGS Mail Order. "With this program, we can provide both additional funds for the racers and added exposure for each participating manufacturer. It's a win-win for everyone involved."
The JEGS Allstars contingency program features 37 postings, which will provide an additional $31,200 to the winners of the 10 classes and $15,600 for the runner-up finishers. Additional postings may be added before the start of the event. The JEGS Allstars contingency program works the same way as the traditional NHRA contingency program in regards to rules and regulations. A complete list of postings will be on NHRARacer.com along with the race eliminator contingency awards listing.
