UPDATE: NHRA Winnings -- What they Made in 2002
By Steve Klemetti
Here is my list of Driver earnings for 2002,
but I added the PowerAde Top 10 progressive bonuses (where they
get money for being in the top 10 entering a race) to the earnings tally.
This caused a few racers to move up or down a few positions.
These are for National event purses, and special Big Bud events and top 10
money. I am not sure if the #1 qualifier gets that bonus anymore so I didn't include that.
