Drivers are not employees of Nascar. However, they are employees of the teams that they drive for. Same as crew members and on down through the organizations which are quite large in some cases like Hendricks and Roush. I do not know this for a fact but probably could correctly assume that the team owners as well as the employees of the team have to pay into the Social Security System. But, as you and others have stated, this is not enough to live on. I took early retirement, at age 55, and received a reduced monthly retirement payment from Social Security but am thankful that I get it.

Darn, we are really getting adrift from the subject of racing......I know, I know, my fault.
