NASCAR is gearing up for the 37th race weekend of the 2026 season at Martinsville Speedway, and the Truck Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Corey Heim beat Kaden Honeycutt for his 11th win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Martinsville with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the Truck Series race at Martinsville will be $789,700 on Friday night. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $789,700 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Martinsville sat at $782,900, which is a $6,800 increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Martinsville this weekend. Honeycutt is looking
to gain two spots in the race at Martinsville, but Layne Riggs and Corey LaJoie had good trucks in 2025. Martinsville always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
