NASCAR is gearing up for the eighth race weekend of the 2026 season at Bristol Motor Speedway, and the Truck Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Chandler Smith beat Kyle Larson for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Bristol with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the Truck Series race at Bristol will be $839,700 on Friday night. NASCAR doesn’t release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it’s impossible to tell how much of the $839,700 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Bristol sat at $782,900, which is a $56,800 increase.
