I am not aware of any sponsorship from the United States Postal Service. Last I heard, they were about 10 billion in the hole....
In 2012, while racing full-time in the Nascar Cup Series, Regan Smith earned $4,153,890. He is now a full-time Nascar Nationwide Series driver.
Yes, very much so. Charlotte, North Carolina is home to the Nascar Hall of Fame and many of the teams race shops are also located there.

Nothing, it is not legal to spend tax dollars on USPS. In reality, it is supported completely by its own sales. It has also become largely detached from government for the past 30 years when the post as Postmaster general was disolved from the presidential cabinet. Economically, it opperates as a private business.
Spend lots of money. Horspower costs, how much do you want to spend. Contact Summit Racing and talk to the experts on Chevy power.
The question of whether NASCAR should continue racing during oil crises has been broached on several occasions, namely during the oil shortages of the 70's as well as the price inflations of the 2000's. In the 70's races were shortened in an effort to save precious fuel. Today, this is less of a concern, as the fuel used in a typical NASCAR race is of a much higher octane and would be unsafe to use in a typical street car.
The meetings the eventually led to the formation of the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR took place in the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach. The hotel is still there along A1A and looks very much the same as it did when France and others met there...
Yes. A person can make a great living as a drag racer, or another member of the race team. NHRA, and IHRA race teams are much like down scaled nascar teams. NASCAR people make more money I think, still, but a career in drag racing can be very rewarding, and more often than not, it becomes a hobby, as well as a craft. There are schools that teach drag racing from building a race car, to actually going out and racing it. I don't know if I can mention the names here, but, where else would they be? So cal. You could probably even get a student loan.
