How much does a NASCAR spotter make?

Spotters are the most important guys on the team. Because of all the safety devises the driver has to wear he cant turn his head to see if there is a car beside him, and that is where the spotter comes in.. He tell a driver where cars are, and if a accident occurs on track. Spotters are men of few words but the words they do say are paramount to a driver's race and chosen wisely. A slight stutter or spike in a spotter's pitch has the potential to unnerve a driver who relies heavily on that voice to steer him clear of accidents, debris, passing traffic and, on rare occasions, flying Helmets and other things. * http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/features/04/24/kybusch.spotter.jdickerson/1.html
