The markets

Who says they write it

From each market's own appetite, product or program page (or a trade article quoting it), read on the date shown. Appetites change: the linked page controls. A market listed here isn't necessarily one this agency is appointed with; a licensed broker reaches most of them directly or through a wholesaler.

Jones Birdsong is described on Specialty Program Group's site as a brokerage 'providing tailored risk solutions for racetracks, racing events, teams, and individual competitors' but its own site returned 403, so it was excluded. Alive Risk lists 'Motorsports' as a Sports & Leisure target class without detail. American Specialty's own site pages fetched do not describe a motorsports program (only third-party listings do).

How motorsports tracks and racing teams gets placed

Standard markets first where any will look at it; when they won't, the placement goes through surplus lines, where a licensed surplus lines broker places it with an eligible non-admitted insurer and files the state's surplus lines tax and stamping forms. In California, risks on the Department of Insurance export list can go to surplus lines without the usual diligent search of admitted carriers. Surplus lines policies aren't backed by a state guaranty fund, so the insurer's financial rating matters more.

What an underwriter will want before quoting: a full description of the operation, years in business and the owners' experience, revenue or payroll, loss runs (five years where available, currently valued), the contracts or venue requirements that set the limits, and photos or safety plans where the hazard is physical.
