Quarter-Million Contingency

These include the Best In The Desert (BITD), SCORE International desert series, UTV World Championships, Mint 400 and the ULTRA4 King of the Hammers (KOH) events.

The 2020 Heartland Challenge endurance race has $2,500 earmarked for the Can-Am SSV racer who wins the Iowa endurance race. In the Pro Turbo ranks, Can-Am will award eligible program participants with $1,000 per Can-Am victory in the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), Lucas Oil Off Road Series (LOORS National), UTV Championship and ULTRA4 series.
