Return To Nascar FAQ Archive   Search the Archives How much do NASCAR drivers earn for winning a race? Answered By Niles Hanssen, Editor The prize money in all race competition must be made payable to the driver, and he will be the one to make the settlements with the car owners. Basically, a Nascar driver's income is sourced out from the racing itself, personal endorsements, and licensing revenues. Their earnings from the race have two faces: the base salary and the percentage of the driver's winnings. For instance, in the Winston Cup, starting drivers may be able to get a salary worth $100,000 plus 10 percent of the prize at stake. For more experienced drivers but have not yet achieved success, the salary can be negotiated between $100,000 and $200,000 plus up to 20 percent of the purse. For the top Nascar drivers, they can receive as much as $500,000 to $800,000 in salary and get to pocket 30 to 50 percent of the prize at stake. keywords: NASCAR | Stock Cars | Stock Car Racing | Car Racing | Auto Racing | Raceway | Winston Cup Buy Nascar Ticket
