WHAT IS THE Race Husky CONTINGENCY PROGRAM / racehusky.com?
Husqvarna offers incentives for amateurs (dealer credits) and professionals (cash) riders when they earn top finishes while riding Husqvarna motorcycles at select events across the United States and Canada. This is known as contingency. There are no fees charged to riders, promoters, or dealerships to participate. Racehusky.com is the website used to streamline the program where riders can signup for the program, find Race Husky contingency events and participating dealers as well as track the awards that have been earned and redeemed.
HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR THE PROGRAM?
To be eligible for Race Husky contingency, you must have an account on racehusky.com. Sign up at the Registration page You will be required to add your Husqvarna motorcycle information and some personal details so you can be verified for the program. Any rider under the age of 18 requires the consent of a parent or guardian to participate in the program, which can be provided during the signup process.
  1. Riders should use the same email address that is associated with their contingency account when signing up for/registering for race events.
  2. Your email address is used to associate your race results from the promoters. If the promoter has the email address you used to create your Contingency account, then the results and your account will align and you will have less issues with collecting your Race Contingency.
HOW DO I EARN Race Husky CONTINGENCY?
Race Husky pays contingency at nearly 1,000 events / series each year in motocross, off-road, road racing, flat track and supermoto. You can earn Race Husky credits when you a finish in a paying position in a paying class at an eligible Race Husky contingency event. For example, 3rd Place in 250 B Modified at Loretta Lynns AMA Amateur National. View the full list of Race Husky contingency events at the Events page. Race Husky credits are rewarded once a result in an eligible class / event / series is verified by the promoter.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMATEUR & PRO Race Husky CONTINGENCY?
Amateur riders earn cash value credits that can be used to purchase products at any participating Husqvarna dealership in North America. To find a participating Husqvarna dealer, check your local Husqvarna Dealers.
Professionals can earn Pro Race Husky cash rewards, which are paid directly through a debit card. The Pro Payment Setup will require you to provide the necessary documentation in order for them to issue a debit card to you.
To receive a Race Husky cash rewards, you must compete in a National Pro class. Please refer to the series payout page to see which classes payout in cash (they will have the signs next to each amount.)
After finishing in a paying position in a paying pro class at an eligible Race Husky contingency event, you will receive a notification on your account dashboard asking you to complete the Pro Payment Setup.
The Pro Payment Setup requires you to download a W-9 (for US citizens) or a W-8 BEN (non-US citizens), fill it out and upload, along with a copy of your government-issued I.D., to your Race Husky account. husqvarnacontingency@brandecation.com
Once you complete the process, Husqvarna will issue your check in 1-2 weeks.
Any U.S. citizen or resident alien who qualifies for prize money may be required to pay taxes on the gross amount. W-9 forms with a Social Security Number or Tax ID and signature are required by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Any non-resident alien who qualifies for prize money may be subject to Income Tax withholding of 30%, which will be deducted from the prize money as required by the United States IRS.
WHAT DOES "SERIES END PAYOUT" MEAN?
This means that you only earn the specified amounts for each class / place for the series - not for the individual events within the series. You must finish in the specified place for the Series end overall championship in that class in order to earn the contingency.
WHEN / HOW DO I REDEEM MY Race Husky CONTINGENCY?
Once a verified race result is uploaded (usually within 2 weeks of the event date), you will be able to use your qualifying money at your local dealership.
Payouts are limited to only two (2) classes per event. If you are entered in more than two (2) classes, the two (2) highest-paying classes will be awarded. For races with multiple disciplines (ex. Winter Mini Olympics, Spring a Ding Ding SX/MX), you will receive contingency for your two highest-paying results in both segments.
