We do have some info on NASCAR drivers salaries, thanks to SportsIllustrated.CNN.com. SI says the highest paid driver in 2005 was Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose annual salary and earnings totaled $5,761,830, but that's not all. His endorsements earned $20,000,000, bringing his sub total compensation to $25,761,830. That number doesn't include sales of Dale Earnhardt Jr. merchandise and earnings from the racing company that he owns. SI says his total take in '05 would approach $50 million!
It all depends, I know Jimmie Johnson won $6,000,000 plus and that's just from when he won the championship. There's more bonuses involved, and the endorsements etc.
