... It would more than likely vary with each job. The best bet would be to find their website and look for the contact information. There should be a link that says "employment" or "about us" or "contact information" etc. About the average rate for commercial driving is between .30 to.35 cents a mile but I'm sure they would pay different seeing as you'd be "laid over" at each race waiting for the weekend to complete.
... You would just have to contact the companies to find out for the exact details..

JB HUNT? Snake, tell me you didn't go there!!!!
It helps to know someone who's working for a crew. If you don't you could send your driving resume around to the different race teams, you might get lucky.
Yeah, the thought of tooling around the country in one of those slick trucks with the sweet paint jobs, modern plush equipment with all the bells and whistles is rather appealing, isn't it?
The driver for a NASCAR semi is traditionally a dual-purpose job. If you're not driving the truck, you're working with the pit crew. Usually the truck driver has either the fuel can job or the catch can job. Then after the race, you have to help get everything into the truck, and then drive a long distance, the first couple hours in massive traffic delays,
It's not a job for the faint-hearted. Oh, and you'd better have damn good backing skills!

You need to start with a team that runs in a series like ARCA, Busch East, or maybe Hooters Pro Cup. Most Nascar Cup teams hire "up" and get drivers from either the Busch Series, Truck series, or whatever. Experience counts for everything. Without it, most Cup teams won't touch you. And yes, you do need to be able to do something else besides drive the truck. There's a lot to do on a race weekend, and you'd be expected to pull your weight.

check out "jayski.com".This site has an employment section that may have a job listed for "semi driver".
Also send in resume to varius teams as some look for "releif" drivers for cross country hauls.
