How much money did Brandon Sheppard win this year altogether?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I thought 2nd place at the dome paid 15K, that adds up pretty quick.

That's not the norm, and when you need to account for $300k+...

If you can't turn a profit winning $800,000+ I doubt anyone would be doing this.

[SDLM Rankings]

I create a ranking system called American Dirt Late Model Rankings. You can find my rankings on Twitter. Brandon Shepard's 2019 race winnings + contingencies + points fund are in the range of $908,972 to $909,998. Approximately $411,750 is from WOO competition. Approximately $296,873 is from Lucas Oil competition. This is a darn good year for DLM team. I am not going figure out the which money was earned in the 1 car vs. other rides.

I’m going to say Brandon got 30-50 percent of this. Probably doesn’t get much or anything out of his grandpas equipment. But from rocket 1 I’d say he makes 30-50%

You need about $650000.

I would say no one will beat the year Donnie Moran had in 2001. He won the Million at Eldora and I dont see any team winning 1.2 million or 1.3 million in an entire year.

excluding the million dollar race (one race) its pretty dam good

ROI depends largely on where you start from. I mean, if you buy a new hauler to start the year you’re already at 650k in costs.

No way you need $650,000 a year to run the lucas or woo series. I highly doubt someone like Dennis Erb Jr. is spending anywhere near $650,000 a year.

I'm assuming you have been doing it a while, have 3 paid crewmen, and the driver takes home about a third.

I bet Dennis isn't. Some most assuredly are.

And his finishing results show...

really depends on if you kill a car or two and if you kill an engine or two, I've talked to someone who footed the bill for a year, he says 250 per year and probably up 10% from then, but they get alot of product sponsors, so there cars are built really cheap (rocket sells so may parts for there customer cars, there house stuff is free I'm sure), tire help if you in the top 10 in points, fuel help, ect
if you really smart and keep up with it, ill bet you can do ok but there is no way are you getting rich doing it
now if someone foots the bill and all you do is show up and get a %, life could be good if your getting it done
hence sheppy
i would take 33.4% of this year for driving (i don't know his deal at all, just guessing)

[dirtcrazy4u]

And I bet Brandon understands he is in the best ride out there so it wouldn't surprise me if he was on a base salary plus a percentage. If that's the case he could be bringing in a 60K salary + 10%

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I'd say most don't own the hauler, Bayko.

Fair point. There are a few that do though.
