From NASCAR: An impressive 130 of all Fortune 500 companies are NASCAR sponsors.

From NASCAR/Margolis: At Hendrick Motorsports, which employs 500 people, sponsors are estimated to cover 65 to 70 percent of all infrastructure costs. The rest is paid for by race winnings and other endorsement deals.

Some NASCAR 2015 stats.

70 drivers have entered one or more of the 21 races so far.
