In the U.S., the national anthem is played (and a few spectators actually sing) every racing day, just before the betting windows are opened for business. This is true of the Triple Crown races, too.

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.

It is a simple lesson in economics supply and demand. For athletes, people are willing to pay money to see a game and receive a service. Owners are willing to pay star players more because they attract more fans to the games, sell more gear, get more endorsements, get more radio/tv money. The players pay for themselves.\n\nTeachers, policemen and other civil servants does not fall so much into this same criteria. Most of these are paid with taxpayers money.  The taxes come from property, sales or income taxes.  At the same time, they do not produce the revenue that a baseball player/team can produce.  Due to both of these factors they do not get paid as  pro athletes do.\n\nThe same applies to anyone with a specific job with the city, county, state or federal government such as an attorney or an engineer. They typically get paid less than a counterpart in the private industry. They have the same skill set and experience but get paid less. In exchange, they usually get better hours, more benefits. More importantly they usually enjoy knowing that they are working for the citizens.\n\nAs with everything in life there is a tradeoff.

i can remember seeing flyovers in 95. why not, sports bring out emotions that you don't feel everyday, they are played by the best in the the world. and they would be nothing without the sacrifice of the countless men who gave their lives to give us the opportunity to be entertained at the highest level, + its its killer marketing

Check the websites of both of the teams over the summer, and they'll give details.  Also, the sponsors get a lot of tickets, like Mcdonalds, so if you know anyone who works for them, they could get some for you.

Yes they are penalized because of their career choice.But NASCAR does have an arrangement with some companies which help give drivers a break.Some drivers do insure thru LLoyds of London.

I have always heard that they get next to nothing.  All the money they earn comes from calendars, personal appearances, etc.\n*edit*\nYep, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders get $50 per game, are not paid for rehearsals and are responsible for maintaining their uniform.  It's probably industrywide.

Its a ticket broker so its probably a lot more than you would pay on the streets.  Also, usually can get tickets just walking up to the stadium but there is no guarantee of course.

Combination of ticket sales, advertisement, team owners having to pay entry fees and sponsors.

Each station (both radio and TV) has their own scheduled rates.  It depends on the exact show choses (e.g., the Super Bowl vs. a low-rated radio show in upstate NY).  You need to ask the individual stations for specifics.

As with all TV programs they are sponsored and get the money from the network (in this case MTV) which sells commercials during the show.\n\nSo for instance, lets say pimp my ride is a huge hit! Millions of viewers tune in to see the show. The advertising spots (the commercials) pay more for a chunk of time than a less popular show which has less viewers. The advertisers job is to get seen by as many people as possible.\n\nThat is why during the superbowl the advertisers pay upwards of a half million dollars per 30 seconds because the audience of the superbowl is HUGE.\n\nBigger the show gets, the more the advertisers are willing to pay for advertisement, the more the network gets, the more they give to the show. See the cycle?\n\nWith bigger bank accounts they can pay for whatever they like on the show. Which is why pimp my ride can afford to spends gobs of cash to trick out a car.\n\nThe way the network sees it, each show is like its own business with its own revenue and its own costs and treated as such. If a show fails to bring in the cash, it goes bankrupt and kicked off the air.\n\nHope this helps you with your question.

Nascar doesn't decide that.  You may have to contact the track officials, or if the city/county board runs the events at the track you will have to find out from them.  Other than that, you won't be able to look online or anything.

The box office at the Stadium ahead of time. If your a member of the fan club they'll sometimes send out deals on certain games via e-mail, like half off etc.

I saw a site which claims to have information on this - particularly live televised sporting events.\n\nIts at http://www.freepremiershipfootball.tk\n\nI am about to try it out as it seems like a good deal.
