How is math involved in NASCAR?
Plenty, from how much horsepower one engine can have to how much down force can a car handle at a certain speed and fuel mileage of course. A lot of races come down to figuring out how much fuel to take on the last pit, or if the car has enough to stay out and not pit. Don't forget the engineering that goes along with setting up a car, and the math involved in making (creating )a NASCAR car.
What is a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver's salary?
I have some friends that drive in it (not going to say any names) but he has been racing part-time since 2006 in the Nascar Camping World Truck series. He races for a "under-funded" team. He averages about 10-15 starts a year since 2006. He told me he usually makes $15,000+ in sponsorship dollars a race and gets a certain percent of the winnings. He usually averages anywhere between $18,000-$22,000 a race after sponsorship dollars and racewinning (before taxes). not bad. And this is a "under-funded" Team too. Imagine what the big racing truck team drivers are making each race too.
