I don't think it all goes to the driver - Roger the other team management usually get a cut, but it's still not bad for a month's work.

Actually, Sam fell just short of the Winner's Purse record...
Sam won $1,744,855 In 2004, Buddy Rice came home with $1,761,740 The total purse was apparently a record for the whole event... The difference was that Sam Didin't lead as many laps as Rice did (19 vs. 91) and Rice also won the Pit Stop Competition in 2004 and Helio won it this year instead of Sam. Source: Today's Indianapolis Star NOTE: The 5 AGR cars brough home a total of $2 million this year. Last year, their 4-car total purse was over $3 million, due to Wheldon winning the Race. |
