Honestly have no idea how much NASCAR drivers are paid. Figured it's a lot since they are a bukkake of advertisment

This motherfricker.

He's always been a pussy.

Maybe he should be a likable personality and people might pay him to peddle their product.

It really depends on how good you are. The better the driver, the better the sponsorship deal. Guys like Gordon made millions of dollars a year because they were consistently winning races. Those who struggle to even finish a race make significantly less.

I think they make around $100,000 if they win a race. If they are last I think it’s like $15,000 or so. But some get a lot of endorsement money.

Nascar is boring because everything is the same. The cars and everything is so regulated that it takes all the fun out of what used to be a buch of bootleggers racing each other.

Also, The owners of Nascar have taken the "ESPN" approach and are trying to appeal to minorites while pushing away it's existing fanbase.

Hamlin should just ask his boss for a raise if he wants more money.

I don't think there is a salary cap in Nascar.

Lulz, they can't even get the below market value amount of NBA and Football players.

Get paid as much as NBA and NFL to drive left for a couple of hours? I could do that.

After glossing over a Forbes article, I have learned Denny Hamlin was the third highest paid driver in 2016, making $15.2 million after winnings and endorsements. Jimmie Johnson and Dale Jr each made $21 million

The top 12 drivers in the sport earned $168 million in 2016 from salaries, endorsements and their share of purses and licensing. It is a significant decline from 2013 when we estimated the top 12 at $192 million.

The only players that get their true value are the ones who play in uncapped leagues or leagues that have cap exceptions for certain players. Baseball players and any soccer players who are worthy of the DP exception in MLS have that in the US.

What an entitled count. He wants to cry about not making enough when he’s made more in a year than anyone would ever need to live a life with everything they want.

All for driving in a fricking circle.

What the frick does this even mean?

How is NASCAR trying to appeal to minorities?

With a mixed Bubba Wallace who grew up in a racing family?

Or Daniel Saurez who is one of the best drivers in the world?

Sit the frick down redneck
