Check out the NASCAR purse money for the 2026 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway! How does it compare to 2025?

NASCAR is gearing up for the 15th race weekend of the 2026 season at Charlotte Motor Speedway , and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Ross Chastain beat William Byron for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Charlotte with a substantial amount of money on the line.

The purse for the 2026 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte will be $13,855,363 on Sunday afternoon. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $13,855,363 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Charlotte sat at $13,651,450, which is roughly a $200,000 increase.

It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Charlotte this weekend. Chastain is looking to go back-to-back in the Coca-Cola 600, but Byron and Chase Briscoe had good cars in 2025. Charlotte always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
