The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) is pleased to announce an extensive new contingency program for drivers competing in Mazda vehicles in 2008 worth nearly $500,000. Rewards are available for drivers in NASA's competition racing and Time Trial programs. The regional program will pay up to $1000 to the top driver ($1200 if a local champion chooses to attend the NASA Championships presented by Toyo Tires at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course) and will pay cash rewards down to 5th place for year-end finishes in each NASA Chapter.
Mazda has posted a very generous payout for the podium finishers at the NASA Championships boasting a total cash value of $8750 per class where the champion can walk away with a $4,500 award. Mazda owners also have the chance to vie for two National Championships since many of the cars fit well into more than one NASA class. Thus, with the right combination and focus, a Mazda owner could walk away with $9000 if they won 2 titles!
"This is a remarkable program both in its breadth and the amounts of cash that it provides to racers in NASA's regional and national programs," said Ryan Flaherty NASA's National Chairman. "Mazda's strong support here reaffirms the reason that Mazda is the most popular brand in NASA and we look forward to seeing our racers enjoy the benefits of this generous program."
