Michael McDowell‘s Daytona 500 victory provided a nice payday for him and the team last week but that win will continue to pay the team over the next few years.
A source with knowledge of the charter system estimates that Front Row Motorsports should collect an additional $1.6 million over the next three years because of the win — with more than $1 million being paid to the team next season.
Chartered teams are paid a set amount per race. They‘re also paid based on where they finish and receive money based on the performance of the charter over the past three seasons.
