It was on April 4, 1998, that Earnhardt got his first career victory on NASCAR’s secondary series — Xfinity today but known as the Busch Grand National Series back then — at Texas Motor Speedway in 1998.
To commemorate the 19th anniversary, Earnhardt, 42, tweeted a picture of the paycheck he got for the win.
Not a bad day’s pay, $50K, but it’s interesting to see the breakdown too. The win in Fort Worth was one of seven total that season for Earnhardt en route to edging out another up-and-comer, Matt Kenseth, for the 1998 series points title.
