NASCAR is American motorsport at full volume, with packs of stock cars racing inches apart at frightening speeds. Its drivers are folk heroes across the United States, and its biggest races carry decades of tradition. Bravery and racecraft matter here as much as horsepower.

Commercially, Kyle Larson leads with an estimated $12M net worth. Earning power tracks fame more than form, but it is part of the legacy question.
