What happens to the money from the penalties?
The money collected from driver/crew member penaties are generally placed into the Drivers Points Fund awarded at the end of the season.
$384,000 in 2004 Fines Redistributed: NASCAR collected fines of $384,495 from 73 Nextel Cup penalties in 2004 and redistributed the money to the top 25 drivers, The Wall Street Journal reports today. As a result, champion Kurt Busch, whose team was fined $21,000 for various infractions during the season, collected $84,588. The newspaper says the NBA, the NFL and MLB turn over the fine money they collect to philanthropic organizations.
So see its not put into the tracks or anything else.I think NASCAR should donate the money to various charities.

They (NASCAR) puts the money in the general point fund and it is redistributed to the top 25 teams after the end of the year.
Basically you cheat and get the money back, Well except for Mikey.

I think that they use it to pay for improvements and just save it incase they need it for something. Like more advertising or improvements to tracks or adding more seats or whatever. I also would hope that they give some of that back to the drivers at the end of the year..Great question.

nascar angel is right, but my suggestion is to invest in a public rulebook... or really any book that doesn't start with "you might be a redneck if..."
