The car owner, and the driver usually have a percentage deal, let's say, 50-50 split. The prize money from the race is split that way between the owner/driver. The sponser/sponsers, pick up the tab for the race, tires, fuel, transportation expenses, ect. The team owner pays to build the cars, and usually owns them. A LOT of parts come in free from automotive sponsers. Say, I think Chevy pretty much would give Herndrick a motor, with a ton of research done on it, which has a value that cannot be set. Sponsor buys tires, and fuel still, I think, say, for example NAPA. They're cool. I think they probably give Michael Waltrip racing all the parts that will interchange. Maybe filters, oil, bulk wire, ect. Last figures I personally heard were, $100,000 per motor, and, around $200,000-$225,000, turn key, race ready. I heard that Hendrick still has a rental program going, though. That would be your best bet, with a sponsor.
