Elliott is one of NASCAR’s highest paid drivers. Last year, Hendrick Motorsports extended Elliot’s contract until 2027, paying him $8M+/yr. This does not include bonuses throughout the season where drivers pocket 40-45% of race winnings.

Elliott also has personal endorsement deals worth over $2M/yr from his long-time sponsors NAPA Auto Parts, Chevrolet, Mountain Dew, and Unifirst. Most notably, Elliott regularly promotes Hooters on his social media.

Elliott makes $750K/yr in income from apparel and merchandise sales. However, NASCAR’s current trackside merchandise deal with Fanatics, set to expire in 2025, has been criticized, as drivers take only 5% of total royalties compared to as much as 67% for other pro athletes.
