It's a nice living, but he's not getting rich living in Florida and Saratoga half the year. I'm not comparing his earnings to other drivers at Pomp, just overall career earnings. Most of his wins haven't been for big purses, it's been more of a grind it out, except for Moni Maker.

He's made roughly 4 million for himself... so he's probably well off

He's not starving, but in a 40 year career it's $100,000 a year, which is way more than the average person makes, but nowhere near what the top drivers make today.

I think it all depends on his lifestyle and how much he's saved. There are 4 drivers over 60 who have been very successful and are still driving, Wally, Palone, D. Miller, and Tony Morgan.

Forgive me for not having his birth certificate handy so I could be more exact!

That's not necessarily true. Rick Plano made a pretty good living at the Pomp.
