All participating drivers across NASCAR’s top-two national series will compete for monetary incentives this weekend in Richmond, Virginia. In 2024, the Cup Series race in Virginia boasts a prize pool of $7,886,627, while the Xfinity Series races will reward the winner with $1,456,191.
FOX Sports' Bob Pockrass tweeted the total prize money pool that will be up for grabs at Richmond across the Cup Series and Xfinity Series:
“Purses for the Richmond weekend, incl all payouts, all positions, contribution to year-end points fund, etc. For charter teams, incl per-race payout for competing in event as well as charter previous history (past 3 yrs, championships, etc): Cup: $7,886,627 Xfinity: $1,456,191”
Toyota Owners 400 Prize Money Breakdown: How much will the winner make at Richmond Raceway?
According to Pockrass, the winner of the NASCAR race is likely to receive between 8 and 10 percent of the total purse. The remaining amount will be split among the Cup Series' 36 charter teams according to their finishing position, charter status, etc.
As per this assumption, the 2024 Toyota Owners 400 winner will likely get eight to 10 percent of the overall $7,886,627, which means the winner will receive a check of $500,000 to $700,000.
