Get ready, because the NASCAR Cup Series is rolling into Iowa Speedway for its 25th race weekend of the 2026 season with an absolutely massive prize pool. Sunday’s Cup Series race at Iowa is rocking an $11,233,037 purse.

The Money Just Got Real

Seriously, that’s not just a big number, that’s a *huge* jump! Last year, the Iowa purse was $9,797,935. This season, we’re looking at a staggering $1,435,102 increase. Talk about putting some serious cash on the line for these drivers! What a boost for the guys out there battling it out. It’s gonna be wild to see who earns the most money at Iowa this weekend.

Who’s Chasing That Cash?

So, who’s gonna grab that massive payout? William Byron is totally looking to run it back and go consecutive after beating Chase Briscoe for his second win of 2025 at this track. But you know Briscoe, and Brad Keselowski too, had good cars last year. Iowa always brings the show, and with this kind of money up for grabs, it’s gonna be must-watch. The track always delivers, and the drivers are surely fired up for that increased prize pool.
