CHARLOTTE (January 29, 2025) – Prototype Sprint Series Association presented by Hankook (PSSA) will debut a new contingency program in 2025, providing top finishers in the series with free or discounted Hankook tires. Formed in conjunction with the presenting series sponsor, Hankook Tire America Corp., the program will award two free tires to the first-place finisher, one free tire to the second-place finisher, and a $100 discount certificate to the third-place finisher. Prizes will be distributed based on the competitors’ finishing position in Feature Race 2 during each of PSSA’s 11 events in 2025.
“I have to thank Hankook for their continued support of PSSA,” said Rob Elson, PSSA Series Manager. “They’re a class act partner, and are always looking for ways to support and grow the series. Since PSSA’s first season in 2023, there has been a lot of interest around the series, with new drivers and cars looking to get involved. We have some great year-end prizes, but this contingency program will be a great weekly incentive to reward our top-performing drivers.”
“We’re thrilled to support PSSA and its growth through a new contingency program,” said Danny van Dongen, President of Hankook Tire America Corp. “We’re proud to have everyone racing on Hankook tires, and hope that this program, with the opportunity to earn free or discounted tires, gives competitors that much more incentive to come race with us.”
Hosting prototype racecars in a sprint race format at some of the most iconic road courses in America, PSSA welcomes more than 30 eligible chassis to compete in one of four different classes. Drivers contend for regional titles with champions crowned in both PSSA East and PSSA West, while manufacturers go head to head for the annual Constructors Championship. All competitors are mandated to use Hankook racing tires.
With between two and three races each weekend, contingency prizes will be awarded for the top finishers in each eligible class during PSSA’s Feature Race 2. To be eligible, there must be a minimum of six cars entered in the class, and all cars must compete on Hankook racing tires and have the prescribed Hankook identification present on their cars. Further rules can be found in the 2025 PSSA rulebook.
PSSA East will kick off its six-race 2025 season at Sebring International Raceway for the Sebring SpeedTour, February 20-23, marking the series’ first trip to the iconic circuit. Just a few weeks later, PSSA West will kick off its seven-race campaign with the Buttonwillow SpeedTour at California’s Buttonwillow Raceway Park, March 14-16.
