NASCAR is gearing up for the 31st race weekend of the 2026 season at Bristol, and the O'Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Aric Almirola beat Sheldon Creed for his second 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 $1,661,806 on Friday 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 $10,000 increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Bristol this weekend. Creed is looking to gain
one spot at Bristol, but Carson Kvapil and had good cars in 2025. Bristol always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
