Ford Performance has reaffirmed its commitment to NASA and its competitors for 2025. The program is offering rewarding cash incentives for regional Spec Iron races! Ford will award $250 to the winner, $200 to second, and $50 for the third-place finisher, provided there are at least three competitors.

That is one of the best regional prize packages available anywhere in any series.

The prizes get a bit richer for regional championships. The Ford Performance program again for 2025 will encompass Spec Iron, American Iron, American Iron Extreme, and Super Touring categories. The top three finishers in these championships will receive $700, $500, and $250 respectively.

For the NASA Championships, the prize money escalates even more. NASA Champions will take home $2,000 for the win. Second place will earn $1,000, and third place will garner $750. The payout structure will apply when five or more racers take the start. These generous awards are available across AI, AIX, SI, and ST series.

Interested drivers can check out all the program and claim requirements at the Ford Performance contingency page on DriveNASA.com.
