NASCAR purse for Cup Series race at San Diego in June 2026

[ASFN Admin]

NASCAR is gearing up for the 19th race weekend of the 2026 season at San Diego, and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. The Cup Series hasn't competed at the venue in its history. Now, the sport will head to San Diego with a substantial amount of money on the line.

The purse for the Cup Series race at San Diego will be $11,849,963 on Sunday afternoon. NASCAR no longer releases the earnings for the winning driver, making it impossible to determine how much of the $11,849,963 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, San Diego wasn't on the schedule, so there's no accurate comparison to a purse.

It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at San Diego this weekend. Denny Hamlin looks to win his fourth straight race of 2026, but Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney hope to get back to their winning ways. San Diego should put on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
