This is about the money

[1900_LE]

Anybody know how the prize money is divided up between driver and owner? Like todays race, the first place finisher (Jimmy Johnson) was to get 488Gs and change. So how much of that does the driver actually get?

I believe it depends on the contract that has been worked up between the two.

they should use it to buy more tires though!!!

Every structure of every organization and team is probably a little bit different, but the driver normally gets anywhere from 35 to 50 percent of what the car makes.

Yep, every team is different,

I read somewhere that it goes from 20% for the lower end drivers up to 60% for the upper class.
