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.

It all depends on the track and the purse. Usually, a Nascar driver can finish last and still earn between $50,000 to $70,000. The winners could make over $300,000, it changes each week. Sometimes more and sometimes less.

The Daytona 500 is the highest paying race, where the winner and the second place driver earn over $1 million each. The last place driver will make over $250,000.

Well it depends on your skills, position you finish, and your sponsor. If your sponsor is very popular then it kind of means you get payed a little more.

NASCAR drivers typically make anywhere from $1 million to more than $20 million a year. It really depends on if they are a full time driver, who they drive for, and their winnings.

It depends on the driver and how much they are under contract for and the sponsors they have on their car. Also, where they place in each race.

It all depends on how well you do in a race. It also depends on how much money you make from your sponsors and how much merchandise your fans buy.

This depends on where they place in races. The more they win, the more they get.

It depends on how well they finish each race, team contracts, and sponser contracts. A full time driver can win from 2.5 million to 10 million. (May vary from many different drivers).
