Continued from June 8.
Another article in the Friday, May 28, 2021, Indy Star newspaper was titled "How much money do Indy Car drivers make?" by Jim Ayello.
You know how much athletes in other professional sports earn. You know that baseball player earning $12 million a year with the Cubs and batting .186. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz signed a four-year, $128 million contract in June 2019.
But, how much do those IndyCar drivers we'll be watching Sunday earn?
The answer, like the answer to how many attend the Indy 500 race, is not known. It is all top secret.
When a driver signs a new contract in North America's premier open-wheel series, the details seldom leak out.
One possible reason for that put forth in the article is that everyone operates on such a fine line.
Many are not paid a flat salary but things are dependent on a variety of factors. One likely is the number of sponsorships they bring in.
