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.
But NASCAR has evolved into a prime-time sport, and it has the expenses to go with it. The two-biggest expenses each week are the two most important ingredients to run up front: an engine and the driver. The cost of a single engine is about $100,000.
