The Cost of Speed

Ever since the company my dad works for, Liftmaster Chamberlain, signed on to  a sponsorship deal in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCARs top touring series, i've been following the sport ever since. And being involved with the sponsorship, i began to become interested in the financials of the sport nd the racing its self.

The main question I will be addressing will be; how do NASCAR and Indycar teams manage their money, and how does money get thrown around in the sport?

 The secondary question I will be addressing will be; how much money does it take to funda NASCAR or Indycar team operation.  I plan to go more specific as well talking about team members, workers, mechanics, spotters, etc.

Sources I plan on using will be; NASCAR. com , Indycar.com, ProQuest, Encyclopedia Britannica, Motorsport.com. I plan on using lots of numbers and realistic terms often used in racing.

My 3 sources I found were:
