NASCAR is the most profitable form of motorsport, in the world. He is definitely getting more money racing in NASCAR. That's where the money is at in racing.. |
Yet Schumacher continues to pull in eighty-some odd million a year, while Jeff Gordon makes around twenty-five million (somewhere around there anyways). |
Exactly - and the next guy down the list makes about $10 million - right?
Thats the problem wiht F1 - the HUGE difference in earnings of the drivers.
NASCAR drivers have salaries and contingency income. Even a NASCAR rookie earns about $400,000 a year.
Thats not counting the fact that a win at Daytona for example carries a Million Dollar purse.
The F1 team owners, Bernie and Max may make the big money, but not all the drivers.
