If a poll was taken in Indiana on the State’s Most Popular Sport, most people would assume basketball would be the winner but speed and racing was born in Indiana just like the round orange ball.

Professional basketball players can make from thousands to millions of dollars a year but how much does the next biggest sport profession in Indiana make???

According to http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2015/05/20/much-indycar-drivers-paid-risks-racing/27618257/?hootPostID=cc44357d0827446492101d1b529aed32 it says usually in a year a Indy Car driver could make up to 1.5 million a year.

Nothing close compared to other professions, or the risk everyday.

While most of us are just watching the race this weekend, we truly don’t understand the true love these men and women put into it.
