Valcourt, Québec, March 3, 2015 – BRP will support its Can-Am ATV and Side-By-Side Racing Contingency program for 2015 with nearly US $1 million. Regional and national racers are eligible for a cash payout through the program for the 2015 season by competing with Can-Am ATVs and side-by-side vehicles in the United States and Canada.
“Racing plays an integral role in the makeup of the Can-Am DNA. Our contingency and amateur support programs, creates incentive for Can-Am owners who compete on BRP’s line of Can-Am products,” said Jeff Leclerc, Racing Project Leader, Can-Am. “We designed these racer-influenced programs as a way to reward consumers for their loyalty to Can-Am and to also assist them in a pursuit of a successful racing season.”
Competitors are eligible for cash payout if they race in an authorized racing series with an approved Can-Am ATV and side-by-side vehicle. A racer can potentially earn a payout if they meet the terms of the contingency program and earn a qualifying finish at an approved event. Payments are mailed to the participants or their legal guardian. Additional contingency can be received if a racer wins a class championship in an authorized series. Championship contingency can vary by class and racing series.
Contingency cash is paid out in many national racing series in North America, and includes motocross, hare scrambles, desert endurance, mud and other forms of racing. Approved series include the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series, AMA ATV Motocross series, World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), SCORE International, Best In The Desert, ATV Mud Nationals and other regional off-road racing series and events.
