how much does a pit crew member for nascar make in a race?
366963
Pit crew members, your average tire changer, fuel man, etc. do not make much at all.  In fact, we often work for travel expenses (food, airfare, lodging).  Those are considered "pay" by the IRS.  Some of the guys over-the-wall are employed by the shop to build and maintain the cars, and do double duty to service the car(s) during a race weekend.  Those guys can make a good income, at a cost though to their social and love life.  These guys burn-out super fast.

You can find the points rules on the website www.nascar.com  I don't know about all the other rules for the car specs, etc.  They change so much that the teams can't keep up, let alone us fans!

As a driver in the the Craftsman Truck and Busch Series, I can say that my earnings are only lumped together for tax purposes.  Since I race for seperate teams in each series, my paychecks come from the respective teams.  As far as NASCAR's report on my total earnings, it is also a seperate deal for each series.  I hope this helps.

If you are looking to go to a NEXTEL Cup race plan on spending at least $100 for so-so seats. Unlike most sports, the higher up in the stands you are the more the tickets will cost. The reason for this is you can see the whole track, or at least more of it on some, than if you sat down low right near the track. The ideal spot to sit would be on the top row between turn 4 and the start/finish line. Most wrecks happen in the turns and you will able to see some of the pit area. Be prepared to spend over $200 per person. I agree, it's crazy.

The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup season begins each season with the Budweiser Shootout. This non-points race generates a lot of excitement as this is the first race of the year. Not all drivers qualify for this special event though. How does a driver get into the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout? Here is everything that a race fan needs to know about the Budweiser Shootout.\n\nThe Track: Daytona International Speedway is a large 2.5 mile tri-oval. The turns feature 31 degrees of banking in the turns and 18 degrees of banking in the front tri-oval. Daytona is one of the tracks on the schedule where the teams are forced to use the horsepower-limiting restrictor plates.\n\nThe Event: This short event runs a total of 175 miles in two segments. First a 20-lap segment gets things started. Then there is an intermission during which time teams are allowed to do any work that would normally be done during a pit stop. The drivers then lineup for a final 50-lap dash to the finish.\n\nHow to qualify for the Budweiser Shootout: Any pole winner from the previous season is eligible for the Budweiser Shootout. If qualifying is rained out and the drivers start by car owner points then the pole sitter does not automatically get the Budweiser Shootout spot. A driver has to win the pole on the race track. \nAlso, any former winner of the Budweiser Shootout has a lifetime qualifying spot in the event as long as they compete in at least one race the previous year.\n\n\nWhen is the Budweiser Shootout?: The Budweiser Shootout is always held the weekend before the Daytona 500. This is the same weekend that qualifying for the Daytona 500 happens. The race is held in prime-time under the lights on Saturday night.\n\nWhat to expect.: Since the Budweiser Shootout is not worth any championship points and doesn't pay much (as compared to the million-dollar plus All-Star race) drivers typically use this as an extra practice session for the Daytona 500. They will feel out how well their cars work in the draft and see if they can move up in the pack. More important than anything is just not getting hurt. \nHowever, towards the end of the event the drivers' competitive juices get flowing and we often end up with a good finish.\n\n\nBusch Clash and Beyond.: This event was first held in 1979 when it was known as the Busch Clash. Buddy Baker won that inaugural event. In 1998 the event became known as the Bud Shootout. The race changed names again in 2001 when it changed to the current Budweiser Shootout name. \nDale Earnhardt Sr. leads the all-time win list with 6 wins in the event. Dale Jarrett is next on the list with 3 Budweiser Shootout wins.

I think it works prettw well, however I think drivers and owners should be rewarded for qualifying also.  So I think the pole position should be worth 20 points 2nd 15, 3rd 8, 4th 7, 5th 6, 6th 5, 7th 4, 8th 3, 9th 2, 10th 1.  Then you'll see some really good crew chiefs.  No sandbaggers.

It is really unknown because unlike many sports, NASCAR and it's teams do not release contract information. Recently a couple of lawsuits made a few drivers contracts public information. These contracts gave the driver a base salary, then incentives. I believe it was Kasey Kahne's contract where he got a base of $3 million, and if he won he would get 45% of the the teams winnings, 2-5th he'd get 40%, 6-10 he'd get 30% and anyhting else was 25%. There were other bonuses for winning big races like the Daytona 500 and the Championship. It is widely thought that even on a bad team that if you are signed and scheduled to compete for a full season the least base you will make is $1 million.

Jeff has a chance to pull it off but I don't see it happening this year.  To much has happened to the rainbow wariors this season.  I dont see the machine as being at 100%.  I thing that once the team clicks, they will once again raise the cup.\n\nAs for this year, Jimmie is on fire, like he has been for the past couple of years.  He has been so close so many times and just missed out.  His team seems to be at their best right now.  Unless the bottom falls out, I think he is going to be a hard one to beat.  He is thinking beyond each race and looking at the whole picture.  I have my money on him.\n\nThere are a number of others who are not going to let him take it easy.  It is looking like the reast of the season is going to be as good as the begining.

Ok I am a huge NASCAR fan and the point system is kind of confusing. But I am sure you can understand.The winner of each Nextel Cup race receives 180 points. The runner-up scores 170. From there, the point total declines in five-point increments for Nos. 2-6; points drop four points per driver for Nos. 7-11; and three-point increments separate drivers' points for finishers 12th place and lower.\n\nIn addition to the points allocated, any driver who leads a lap receives five bonus points. The driver who leads the most laps receives an additional five bonus points.\nIn Nextel Cup racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the top 10 -- and any others within 400 points of the leader -- earn a berth in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.\n\nAll drivers in the Chase will have their point totals adjusted. The first-place driver in the standings begins the Chase with 5,050 points; the second-place driver will start with 5,045, etc. Incremental five-point drops will continue through 10th place (5,005 points).\n\nIf more than 10 drivers qualify for the Chase, the additional drivers will have their points reset at 5,005.\n\n• Owners are rewarded in the points race in much the same fashion but, unlike drivers, they earn points for merely attempting to make a race. If an owner shows up with two drivers and one fails to qualify, the owner still receives points for the non-qualifying effort.\n\nThrough the first five races of the season, the top 35 in owners' points from the previous season are guaranteed a starting spot in the race. Beginning with the sixth race, the top 35 in current owners' points are guaranteed a spot.\n\nThe fastest non-qualifier on race day earns 31 points for his owner, three down from the 43rd-place points. The scale continues downward for all non-qualifiers, with the lowest possible point awarded being one.\n\n• Manufacturers have a points race of their own. The car maker who has a driver take first place in a race earns nine points for that race. Second-best performance by a manufacturer gets six points, third place earns four points and fourth place, three points\nRace Points System \nFinish Points   Finish Points
