Those nascar guys need all the money they can get since they wreck at every race lol.
Not to mention they have to travel around in circles 500 times looking for the finish line....
200 times at Daytona.
Well I'm pretty sure NHRA hasn't upped the ante so $40k+ contingencies TF/FC $20K+ contingencies Pro Stock and those have been the numbers since at least 2000. We all know the cost of living/racing hasn't remained stagnate during that time.

PS Tiger Woods won just short of $1,000,000 this weekend and you have to go down quite a few places before somebody's check is only $40K, I'm pretty sure their expense are a lot less than a drag racing team ESPN - PGA Tour Leaderboard, Golf Standings
I love drag racing, but maybe I should have spent more time on the links than in my shop!
Winternats winner gets $40K.
Daytona 500 winner gets 37.5 times as much but has to race 500 times further to earn it.
Must be a moral there somewhere.

D, they have NOT upped the Anti! Not sure about contingencies, but the Purse hasn't budged!
The lowest man on the rim in NASCAR Cup still gets paid close to 500k a year to drive... several have multi millions as a paycheck alone.. not just the percentage the earn at an event... plus the millions in t-shirt, hats etc....so we might need to factor that in to the "paid per second" moneys...lol....
wasn't to many years ago an bottom end open wheel driver made more than the top NASCAR driver a year..... my how times have changed......
