Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors

[Jesse Kershaw]

I am happy to see no Ford issues in this thread.

We have made great strides to improve our payouts to no more than 30 days once we receive the information from NHRA.

I do know that on rare occasions a payout may slip through the cracks on our end or on NHRA's.

If you do receive a payment within 60 days of your win please email an inquiry to fcntgcy@ford.com with the date, class and event you earned contingency at.

Feel free to cc me on those communications as well, jkershaw@ford.com

As we roll out more contingency programs it is critical we stay on top of payments and we appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

-Jesse

Note that this was for a semifinal finish, which is awarded above and beyond their monetary postings for win/ru. Having a race car (or two), a tow vehicle, and a street car, there are enormous opportunities to use K&N oil filters, air filters, and air intake assemblies. They do a tremendous amount for sportsman racing, and I for one am very appreciative.

It's the appreciation and patronage of companies that support drag racing that makes them economically viable means of marketing.

On different note, I think it says a great deal for Ford to represent themselves here in public, too. I had the pleasure of meeting Jesse at Indy last year. Young, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the sport. They have a great liason that readily sets them apart.
