Staphylococcal food poisoning is a gastrointestinal illness. It is caused by eating foods contaminated with enterotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. The enterotoxins are fast acting, sometimes causing illness within one to six hours.
It all depends on the track and the purse. Usually, a Nascar driver can finish last and still earn between $50,000 to $70,000. The winners could make over $300,000, it changes each week. Sometimes more and sometimes less.
Even with the U.S. economy finally heading in the right direction, there are only a finite number of companies that have the financial resourcesâand perhaps more importantly, the commitment to be willing to spend anywhere from $75 million to $100 million or more per seasonâto become NASCAR's title sponsor.
