According to Bob Pockrass, the winner of the All-Star is likely to receive between eight and 10 percent of the total purse. The remaining amount will be divided among the Cup Series' 36 charter teams according to their finishing position, charter status, etc.

As per this assumption, the 2024 All-Star Race will likely get 8–10 percent of the overall prize money of $3,784,525, which means the winner will receive a check of around $100,000–$300,000.
