In 2025, William Byron beat Chase Briscoe for his second win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Iowa with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the Cup Series race at Iowa will be $11,233,037 on Sunday afternoon. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $11,233,037 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Iowa sat at $9,797,935, which is a $1,435,102 increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Iowa this weekend. Byron is looking to go back-to-back in the race at Iowa, but Briscoe and Brad Keselowski had good cars in 2025. Iowa always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
