- From legends Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jimmie Johnson to now-retired racer Kevin Harvick who works at Fox Sports, these stars rake in millions
Move over, Formula One and MotoGP drivers – there’s another breed of motorists who are raking in millions, without the overly expensive vehicles. Nascar, or National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is all about driving cars that are available to the public, otherwise known as stock cars.
That means, unlike other motorsports, anyone with enough skill and determination who purchases a car and modifies it to Nascar standards can technically get in on the action. Founded back in 1948 by Bill France Sr in Daytona Beach, Florida, Nascar has boomed in popularity over the years, hosting more than 1,200 races in over 30 US states, Canada, Mexico and Europe.

7. Danica Patrick, 42

One of the most successful women in the history of motorsports, Danica Patrick is also one of the wealthiest women in motor racing.

In 2013, she transitioned to the Nascar Cup Series, later becoming the first woman to win a Nascar Cup Series pole.
Since retiring in 2018, she’s gone on to become a branding powerhouse, releasing her own podcast, wine label Somnium, athleisure collection Warrior by Danica Patrick, and a candle line called Voyant by Danica.
