NASCAR purse for Cup Series race at Martinsville in March 2026

[ASFN Admin]

NASCAR is gearing up for the seventh race weekend of the 2026 season at Martinsville Speedway, and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Denny Hamlin beat Christopher Bell for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Martinsville with a substantial amount of money on the line.

The purse for the Cup Series race at Martinsville will be $11,233,037 on Sunday afternoon. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $11,233,037 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Martinsville sat at $11,055,250, which is roughly a $180,000 increase.

It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Martinsville this weekend. Hamlin is looking to go back-to-back in the spring race at Martinsville, but Bell and Bubba Wallace had good cars in 2025. Martinsville always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
