A: Not yet. Helio and Danica signed a contract with the IRL for the next 2 years. Both are bringing lots of positives to the sport. They also get appearance money for every race they show up at. This is not a new practice, Foyt, Mario Andretti, Roger Ward, Rick Mears and a lot more all received appearance money in the USAC series. Nascar also paid Appearance money to Richard Petty, Allisons,and so on
