Sprint Car Money Earnings: Top 10 Drivers Through First Half Of 2024 - FloRacing  so much for that!!!

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...

Really nice numbers across the board - that is good for high end sprint car racing. 

I feel disrespectful because I can't recall his name, but I know the creator of SprintCarRatings.com posts here. It's an absolutely fantastic site - I really enjoy perusing it. I am curious if the money numbers include any tow - I don't know exactly where the info for money earned is sourced and if includes things like that. I think it matters a lot nowadays.

Also, you have an SSL certificate issue on the site FYI. You may be aware but if not, just saying. Appreciate the work on the site though! 

The money on my site includes all money earned per race.  That includes all money paid for A/B/C/etc.  But, it does NOT include any point money earned, or any 'extra' tow money for series regulars to show up. 

I dont include point money because I do not have all point money paid out by all series and tracks.  Most of them, outside of the top series, don't publish them, so I have always thought if I don't have ALL the figures, I don't include them.  

As far as the SSL cert, I never felt the need to have a cert for the site, there's no personal data for anyone there to try and protect it.

Your website is the best and we're all grateful for the work you're putting in. 

Unfortunately your numbers are now being used out of context by the usual suspects and without point money included, were all going to have to listen to tortured analysis about which series is best without all the information. I completely understand not including point money in your rankings but might I suggest a new page or section for WoO races and HL races where you show the money earned in those series including point funds? 

This whole list will likely change around when the Outlaws catch a break in the weather and get some races in.  They'll be going head to head at Eldora and Knoxville.  This is a story that will take a full season to play out and I expect the pendulum to swing back and forth a few times.

Personally as a retired railroad accountant I have a bug up my ass when it comes to comparing drivers incomes.  The only money that matters is in my wallet and not driver's pockets.  If I can pay my streaming bills and buy gas, food and afford a ticket that's all I'm concerned with.

It's early ... but Payday is exceeding the high expectations already, a win at Knoxville with all the big guys there :) for starters
