NASCAR Grant Park 165 Prize Money: How much is the winner expected to make at Chicago Street Courts in 2025?

After the EchoPark Speedway race, NASCAR is headed to the Chicago Street Course for the annual Grant Park 165. The event is scheduled for the upcoming weekend on Sunday, July 6, 2025. Days before the event, stock car analyst Bob Pockrass revealed the prize pool for the winners, sharing an X post.

The 75-lap race at the street course will mark the 19th points-paying start of the 2025 Cup Series season. This will be the second race of the new in-season challenge introduced by the governing body this season. The tournament aims to increase the popularity of the sport on a global level.

The NASCAR Grant 165 will be the third annual race hosted by the 2.2-mile-long street course. The sanctioning body has divided the 165-mile event into three stages. Stage one will feature 20 laps, followed by stage two with 25 laps, and the final stage consists of 30 laps.

Reflecting on the anticipation for the event, stock car racing analyst Bob Pockrass pointed out that the winner of the Cup Series event will bag a prize pool of $11,704,450. On the other hand, the Xfinity Series winner will receive a reward of $1,651,939. He further stated:
