BILSTEIN is continuing its support of the 2026 American Off-Road Racing Championships with its UTV contingency program, the company announced.

The program will present a total of $48,000 in contingency payouts across the series' desert racing events this season. Two opportunities for racers to participate––the Vegas to Reno event and Laughlin Desert Classic––remain on the 2026 calendar.

The contingency program awards $3,000 to the winner of each of the following UTV classes at every eligible event: UTV Pro Stock, UTV Stock Modified, UTV Stock and UTV Sportsman.

"BILSTEIN has a long history in off-road racing, and we're excited to continue supporting grassroots and professional UTV racers through AORC contingency," said Chelsea Leap, marketing manager at BILSTEIN. "Our Black Hawk UTV shocks were developed and tested in the harshest racing environments, and this program is another way we're investing back into the racers who trust our products."

To qualify for contingency, racers must:

    •    Run BILSTEIN Black Hawk UTV shocks for the entire race

    •    Display two 10-inch BILSTEIN decals (left and right side of vehicle)

    •    Avoid displaying competing suspension brand logos

    •    Compete in a class with a minimum of three entries

    •    Register for contingency through AORC and confirm eligibility
