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. That backdrop is what makes a matchup like this one resonate beyond the box scores.

Commercially, Jeff Gordon leads with an estimated $200M net worth. Earning power tracks fame more than form, but it is part of the legacy question.
