Russ Bond just turned me onto a site that will show you how much every driver who has ever raced in NASCAR has ever made (purse only). There are a bunch of Canadians on the site if you're willing to dig.Jeff Gordon has won over $67M in purse money (not counting his salary, endorsements, t-shirt sales, etc.) since 1993.
And I have to laugh at Rusty Wallace. During the Daytona 500, he said he's going to have to adjust his lifestyle after he retires because he won't be making the kind of money he is now. But I don't think there's a need for racing fans to pass the hat for 'ol Rusty just yet.
According the the site, Wallace has earned $43M in purse money since 1980, including about $24M alone since 2000. And if he's ever looking at having to join the soup line, I'm sure he can set up a table and sign autographs for about $5Gs an hour.
Anyway, you can search the names for hours.... thanks Russ!
