NASCAR is gearing up for the 18th race weekend of the 2026 season at Pocono Raceway, and the O’Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Connor Zilisch beat Jesse Love for his second win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Pocono with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the O’Reilly Series race at Pocono will be $1,653,590 on Saturday afternoon. NASCAR doesn’t release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it’s impossible to tell how much of the $1,653,590 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Pocono sat at $1,651,939, which is roughly a $2,000 increase.
