The NHRA has denied contingency claims made by Ryan Herem, Dale Maher, and Russ Parkerfor violating NHRA Contingency Program Rules. In separate incidences, the required contingency decals were not present on the race vehicles of Herem (Sonoma race), Maher (Denver race), and Parker (Seattle race) prior to the first round of eliminations, which is a direct violation of NHRA Rules, particularly Section 1.11 Contingency Awards of the 2019 NHRA Rulebook. As a result, their contingency claim forms for the aforementioned races have been voided.
