BILSTEIN Joins AMSOIL Championship Off-Road presented by Brunt Workwear as Contingency Sponsor and Official Truck Ride Control Partner

Apr 30, 2026

The AMSOIL Championship Off-Road presented by Brunt Workwear is proud to welcome BILSTEIN as a contingency sponsor for the 2026 season, supporting competitors in three highly competitive SxS divisions: PRO-AM Stock SxS, PRO-AM Turbo SxS, and Sportsman Stock SxS.

Spanning all 14 rounds of the championship, the BILSTEIN contingency program will deliver a total payout of $30,000. Per event, drivers in each of the three classes will compete for contingency awards of $375 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third, provided eligibility requirements are met. In addition, a $1,650 Manufacturer’s Choice award will be presented to the top UTV racer at the season finale at Glen Helen Raceway.

To qualify for contingency awards, competitors must run BILSTEIN Black Hawk shocks throughout the race, display one 10-inch BILSTEIN decal on each side of their vehicle, and ensure no competing suspension manufacturer logos are present. A minimum of three entries per class is required. Championship Off-Road officials will verify eligibility during the post-race inspection and submit results to BILSTEIN. Award recipients will then coordinate directly with BILSTEIN to complete redemption requirements. Decals will be available at the tech inspection area.

Race-Proven Performance with Black Hawk UTV Shocks

At the core of BILSTEIN’s presence in short-course off-road racing is its premium M 9200 Coilover and Bypass shocks, as well as their newest line of Black Hawk UTV shocks. Engineered for the most demanding racing and recreational environments, the new Black Hawk shocks feature BILSTEIN’s proprietary ZoneControl® position-sensitive damping technology, delivering precise control throughout the entire suspension stroke.

With advanced features like 4-way external adjustability, Internal Jounce Cut Off (JCO) for bottom-out control, and Rebound Cut Off (RCO) for improved stability, Black Hawk shocks are built to handle the rigors of off-road racing while providing confidence and consistency for drivers pushing the limit.

Fully rebuildable and race-proven, BILSTEIN’s Black Hawk UTV shocks are also available to enthusiasts looking to elevate their UTV performance.

In addition to its racer support, BILSTEIN will serve as the Official Truck Ride Control Partner of the series. The championship’s pace truck and safety vehicles will be equipped with BILSTEIN shocks, underscoring the brand’s commitment to performance both on and off the track.

Fans and competitors will also have the opportunity to engage with BILSTEIN on-site at the final two rounds of the season at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway and Glen Helen Raceway, where the company will feature its display trailer showcasing products for trucks, SUVs, and SxS vehicles.

The addition of BILSTEIN further strengthens AMSOIL Championship Off-Road presented by Brunt Workwear’s connection across the truck, powersports, and off-road communities through short-course competition.
