The Road & Track folks were stunned because they did the article as half a joke.
which one handled better?

How much do Nascar racers, on average, make compared to F1, Cart, or WRC?

Who comes closest to Schumacher in Nascar? Schumacher does make a lot of the cash from sponsors though right?

The plain truth is the racers we remember most are the guys who won in several disciplines.
Mario, AJ, Gurney, Hill, Clark, Donohue all won regardless of what kind of race car was

[B]Oprah money? she's worth about 800 million right now, so I don't know how much Gordon can compare to that.
