Dayco, a provider of high-performance drive system solutions, has joined the NHRA Contingency Program for 2026.

Dayco will post $17,000 for racers competing at the NHRA level in specific classes who run Dayco blower belts and earn win or runner-up finishes.

This initiative reinforces Dayco's commitment to high-horsepower performance and grassroots-to-professional motorsports racing, company representatives said, as the contingency program was designed by the NHRA to create a direct connection between manufacturers and racers by rewarding superior performance with tangible financial incentives.

For 2026, Dayco will award NHRA racers competing in Pro Mod, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car classes. Eligible racers who run Dayco's 8mm blower belts, display the required Dayco decals and meet NHRA Contingency Program guidelines will qualify for payouts when finishing as event winner or runner-up in these classes:

• Pro Mod ($500 to win, $100 to runner-up per event)
• Top Alcohol Dragster ($300 to win, $100 to runner-up per event)
• Top Alcohol Funny Car ($300 to win, $100 to runner-up per event)
