    If all this is true, how does a guy who drives for a living pay his real life bills, Mortgage, electric, car payments kids, kids schooling, lets say for instance a Babb or a Shirley, how do they do it in this day and age?

      ive talked to a top sponsor (he owned it all and footed the whole bill) for someone who is still racing and is very competitive, min 250 if luck went your way, 250-400 if they killed a couple cars or engines, but thats also paying 2 full time guys for help
      lets not forget all the hours that go into a deal like this
      I've heard of guys testing for 1000 laps or in a 2 day deal, hell thats a 15000 dollar test session easy
      I was told $250k just for crew, hauler, and expenses. Think about it, 2 complete cars are $200k.

        Not saying all, but a lot of these guys come from money and their families are well off to begin with.

          From a couple pics I've seen Rocket1 has at least 4 complete cars at least 2 maybe 3 were turn key ready to go sitting at the shop. And a 5th one being built.

            Rocket1 is getting their cars for basically material costs. That helps a ton.

                Any house car should have that advantage.
