NASCAR is gearing up for the eighth race weekend of the 2026 season at Bristol Motor Speedway, and the O’Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Kyle Larson beat Carson Kvapil for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Bristol with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the O’Reilly Series race at Bristol will be $1,753,590 on Saturday night. 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 Bristol sat at $1,651,939, which is roughly a $102,000 increase.
