NASCAR purse for O'Reilly Series race at Nashville in May 2026

[ASFN Admin]

NASCAR is gearing up for the 16th race weekend of the 2026 season at Nashville Superspeedway, and the O'Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Justin Allgaier beat Connor Zilisch for his third win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Nashville with a substantial amount of money on the line.

The purse for the O'Reilly Series race at Nashville will be $1,653,590 on Saturday night. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $1,653,590 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for Nashville sat at $1,651,939, which is roughly a $2,000 increase.

It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Nashville this weekend. Allgaier is looking to go back-to-back in the race at Nashville, but Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed had good cars in 2025. Nashville always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
