Danica Patrick's earnings this season - $2,727,314 Tony Stewart's earnings this season - $3,026,387 Tony gets a percentage of what the Ice Princess wins too... Other drivers with fewer points that have higher earnings this season - Allmendinger, Mears, Ragan, Hornish and Bayne. Try again...

Don't pay any attention to her(like on ignore list), so doesn't bother me one way or other.

Not sure where you got this info, but Danica is no where near the money draw (for a sponsor) that you seem to think she is. There is a reason that she is going from GoDaddy, a sponsor with huge name recognition, to Nature's Best. Nature's Best is a company that I think I can safely say very few members of this board had ever heard of before. Meanwhile, Jimmy is sponsored by Lowes, Tony has Mobil 1 and Bass Pro Shops, Jr. has Nationwide Insurance and Jeff has Dupont. |

Who has a higher salary and overall makes more money?............ Tony is 4th and the touring princess is 5 positions behind him in 9th. I hate it for ya! Ten Highest Earning NASCAR’S Drivers 2015 ........................Drivers Salary.... Endorsements Dale Earnhardt Jr $14.6 Million..... $11 Million Jimmie Johnson.. $18.5 Million......$6.5 Million Jeff Gordon....... $13.2 Million........$5 Million Tony Stewart...... $11.3 Million...... $6 Million Kyle Busch......... $12.8 Million...... $3 Million Carl Edwards...... $13 Million......... $1.5 Million Kevin Harvick..... $12.7 Million...... $1.5 Million Denny Hamlin..... $12.2 Million...... $1.5 Million Danica Patrick..... $7 Million.......... $6 Million Kasey Kahne....... $11.3 Million...... $1.3 Million Notice the endorsements are even, but the driving talent makes more. TP is the lowest paid of the bunch, there's a reason for that rationale. Being famous is a matter of opinion. The site quoted is called "Famous Birthdays" based on how many times the celebrities name is searched on the net. I'm thinking their qualifying for celebrity status may not be the most accurate ways to judge their ranking. Someone cold be searching for the most overrated driver in NASCAR? Boom touring princess. How about the woman the Waltrip brothers dream about most? Boom touring princess. I'm not putting much faith in search numbers on the net, hell most hillbilly NASCAR fans don't even own a kumputter!!!! No one voted on these selections, it's purely based on search activity according the the site itself. As seen above, search activity doesn't equate to dollars, talent does though...................

Once again, I want to know the source of your info. Give me the link - so I can read what is actually said. I'm not saying you didn't find some wacko list like that - just want to read what criteria or justification they used. When I use google or bing to search "most popular race car drivers" - the first thing that shows up is "Top 50 Race Car Drivers/Celebrity Net Worth". Which has nothing to do with being the most popular - but Danica isn't on the list. The only female listed is Alexis Dejoria - a drag racer. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/lis...e-car-drivers/ None of the other google links takes me to anything with a list like you're referencing. As far as money goes - in your post YOU stated: Quote:
Tony attracts much bigger sponsors than the Touring Princess. |

And all we have so far is toms' claim that there is some list that "says" she is more popular. I want to know how they quantified "most popular" before I give any credit to the claim. If, as Brad suggests, it is based on inumber of nternet searches, that has nothing to do with popularity. It just means that people are looking for information on the person for either good or bad reasons. Some of those searches could simply be dirty old men looking for suggestive photos of the Ice Princess because they think she is attractive. Or they could be looking for photos of the most recent wreck she was involved in. Neither search has anything to do with her popularity as an actual race car driver. |

On Instagram yesterday, she posted a photo of an empty box of her now famous fig bars. And claimed that she'd need to put an order in for a bunch more boxes. Yes I follow Manica on Instagram for the entertainment factor. Occasionally she'll post a video of herself doing yoga or handstands. Make no mistake, whether she wins or not, or is most popular or not, she's a marketing machine....AND TO HER BANK ACCOUNT, THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Danica's net worth is only $18 mil, which is the same as AJ Allmendinger - and nobody claims that AJ is a marketing machine.
To most folks, $18 mil is a huge number, but when you consider: Bobby Labonte's net worth is $45 mil Tony's is $70 mil. Dale Jr's is $300 mil. By NASCAR standards, Danica is a pauper. |

Famous Birthdays is the website that Tom quoted from.
http://www.famousbirthdays.com/about.html This link tells how they arrive at the persons celebrity status. You can click boost if you want to elevate their celebrity status, LOL. The Waltrip brothers were most likely clicking boost for the last 3 years. Quote:
Randy, have you been clicking boost too?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
