Back in the day it was 40% to the driver.  Has that percentage changed.  Will some drivers chime in please?


Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Id guess gravel is probably the highest paid percentage wise just by knowing what i know about the team owner. Id say the owner probably threw everyone on the crew a bone after that 300,000 week.

Gibby has said via Knoxville fan forums in the past that the driver gets between 40-60% of the winnings and I've also heard 50% is the norm for the top guys. The pay to play rides are different but Gravel is definitely not that. I assume bonuses for winning might also come into play but not sure. As it is, Gravel is almost double his nearest rival for money won and he's the odds on favorite for the $350k WoO title. He'll likely easily get over $1m this year barring some big setback.
