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.
The smaller teams generally pay 50 percent of their winnings to the driver. The elite teams use a formula of salary and commission. Some of the higher-profile drivers make about $185,000 a week. The rest of the race team is next, with an average weekly payroll of $83,500. That takes care of the mechanics, pit crew, public relations team, truck driver and engineers. Keeping a 200-mph race car at full speed costs about $50,000 a week for parts and pieces.
