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.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Bristol this weekend. Smith is looking to go back-to-back at Bristol, but Corey Heim and Tyler Ankrum had good trucks in 2025. Bristol always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
