Average salary is around 40 to 45 thousand a year, but it also depends on what team your on. The good teams that win races, hand out bonuses and will pay more than the average race team to have the best guys. Some teams have even been known to "steal" certain crew members away, after their contract is up with they're current team, to work for them. As of 2008, many and or most pit crew members make from $60,000 to $80,000 a year, and yes, some smaller teams make less and the bigger teams make more, but the average is about $75,000, so a good guess is between 60 to 80 thousand a year.

The earnings would all depend on how much the driver earns. I would believe the more the driver earns the more the tire changer earns. There is probably no formula on how much they earn. It is just up to the individual driver on how much the team members are paid. Remember that they do more than just change tires. The pit crews are also involved in working in other areas for the team such as working in the team home garage.
