Very few persons know how much the Indy Car racers make a year. There are a lot of variables as to what they make. An Indy 500 win will very likely get a bonus. As a driver wins more races and gains more experience, they will earn a higher percentage of the purses.
One source says that the average purse used to be about 40%, but has inched up to near 50%.
There are also perks. This could include a motorhome as well as its expenses.
So, who might be the Indy Car driver getting paid the most money?
Most people will answer Scott Dixon. But, then again, his contract is not public, but sources speculate the six-time series champion makes between $3.5 million and $4.5 million. This would make him the highest-paid driver in the series.
So, then, what is the lowest paid? One source guessed $250,000 to $350,000.
What do the majority of the drivers make? One source speculated that 14 to 16 drivers make $1 million or more.
