Indycar's interest remains primarily focussed on the  US domestic market, particularly the Indy 500, although there remains interest elsewhere.  It has slightly more international appeal than NASCAR racing, although lacks the domestic appeal to reach the same level on this list.  Top drivers can earn more than $10 million annually.
