NASCAR Automotive lists '10 contingency sponsors

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The lineup of 2010 NASCAR Prize Money and Decal Program sponsors for all three national series has been announced.

The NASCAR Prize Money and Decal Program, commonly referred to as the Contingency Program, is administered by the Charlotte, N.C.-based NASCAR Automotive Group. The program strives to build strong relationships with high-quality, performance-driven brands that are leaders in their respective categories and award money to NASCAR teams via per-race and year-end awards. Competitors become eligible for prize money by displaying sponsor decals on the front fender of their race vehicles. In some instances, use of a sponsor's product is also required.

"We are very pleased to have such a strong lineup of NASCAR Prize Money and Decal Program sponsors in the national series this year," said Odis Lloyd, managing director, NASCAR Automotive Group.
