This is a hard question to answer, the amount of money spent from Team to Team is enormously different. You must consider the number of people on the payroll, the size of the shops, the number of back-up cars, spare parts, haulers, equipment with-in the shops, "number of Teams", (I know you said "A" Team, but, when buying parts, equipment, cars, etc., buying in bulk or numbers, the aforementioned can be a little cheaper) and of course, the Sponsor(s) for said Team. The Funds provided by the Sponsors for some of your more notable Car Owners/Racing Teams ( like Hendrick, Roush, etc.) can exceed well over 25 million in a single year for a single Team. A much smaller operation con be considerably less, some teams operate on a race to race basis, because of no sponsors, and the shortage of money, out of pocket, so-to-speak. So your answer is: "Very little (less then $300,000.00 to get started, and a race or two), or Tons of money".

As much as it takes to buy a car, have a pay team, have a pit crew, be able to buy the tires, buy the gas, have a truck for merchandise, and a car building team. ( a lot of money)
That is a relative question. If you are a major owne, like Rausch ,you make a big heap of money. On the other hand, if you are a privateer, like Robby Gordon, you barely make enough to keep racing. Equality does not reign in NASCAR; capitalism does. Bottom line, NASCAR is a rich man's sport and the more money you have to sink into your team the better your results and the more money you make. That does not make big team owners evil, it makes them successful. It's the American way.
get an engineering degree and go to work for a nascar race team.
Currently, Chase Rice is not a jackman for any Nascar team.

No. While NASCAR doesn't require the participation of a sponsor, it is near impossible to race in any of the three major series. It is very expensive to fund a NASCAR team, and corporate sponsorship money offsets, or sometimes completely covers, these costs.
Roger Penske's Nascar debut was in 1972.
In team shops.
Currently, Derrike Cope doesn't own a Nascar Sprint Cup Series team.
Petty Enterprises

You probably have to contact NASCAR and the owner of whatever team you want to sponser.
