It's usually based on a percentage of the nights winnings. I'd say normally along the lines of 60% to the owner and 40% driver or 70/30. I've doubt you would find any situations where the driver is paid a flat fee before the nights racing.

You will be hard pressed to find anyone running strictly local shows that is making their living driving a sprintcar although there are probably some out there. Most have a full or part-time job with race winnings being used for additional racing expenses such as gas to the track or pit passes etc..
