I am not sure what the point of the numbers is. Are you posting them telling us that Kevin Miller makes too much money or that USAC rewards him for bringing in sponsorship? Without the compensation plan and bonus structure, the numbers mean nothing. Who is to say that he is not underpaid?
I would bet an adult beverage that Kevin's compensation plan reads something like this: 25-35% of his take home pay is base salary, 15%-25% is based on an agreed performance plan (# of events, # of cars,# of tracks raced at, etc) 50% is based on sponsor dollars brought into the series and overall growth of the brand. If I told you that USAC paid their top executive ten cents on every dollar that he brings in for sponsorship, would that seem like a very good deal for USAC. If the top executive could bring in new classes that dramatically increased revenues, (quarter midgets, Off road), shouldn't he be rewarded for it?
I think most people really do not have a problem with the pay. They have a problem that it is not them getting paid.
