Jeff Gordon is the current (2008) highest paid driver from his rookie season (1992) to the end of the 2007 season he made estimated $89,397,060.
That would be the ones that win races like, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart oh and the golden child himself, Dale Earnhardt Jr, who may make more than all these drivers combined.
The ones who are the best at attracting well-funded sponsors.
It takes three things to be a well-paid NASCAR driver: driving skill on the track, good equipment and charisma. Driving skill gets you consistent Top Ten finishes. Good equipment keeps you on the track in the first place...who wants their logo on a car that makes 400 miles and blows up every week? Charisma puts you in commercials, because the only thing anyone buys from an annoying person is a Shamwow--and Vince doesn't drive NASCAR.
Chad Knaus is the highest paid crew chief in Nascar. He is the crew chief for Jimmie Johnson's #48 Lowe's car. Chad signed a contract extension in April 2010 that will run through the 2015 season and it is rumored to be worth over $3.5 million per year.

A NASCAR driver is paid by his or her team owner, as a salary or whatever deal they agree to. Earnings are entirely different, as they includes a driver's winnings, appearances, product endorsements, souvenir sales and possible sponsor payments. I think the highest paid NASCAR driver today is Jeff Gordon.
Well the highest paid Nascar driver is Jeff Gordon. But on the scene of F1 the man hands down is Michael Schumacher. Kimi Raikkonen is at 53 million per year.
