How much do NASCAR drivers make per year?

We do have some info on NASCAR drivers salaries, thanks to SportsIllustrated.CNN.com. SI says the highest paid driver in 2005 was Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose annual salary and earnings totaled $5,761,830, but that's not all. His endorsements earned $20,000,000, bringing his sub total compensation to $25,761,830. That number doesn't include sales of Dale Earnhardt Jr. merchandise and earnings from the racing company that he owns. SI says his total take in '05 would approach $50 million!

It all depends, I know Jimmie Johnson won $6,000,000 plus and that's just from when he won the championship. There's more bonuses involved, and the endorsements etc.
