NASCAR purse for Cup Series race at Iowa in August 2025
USA Today2 days ago
NASCAR is gearing up for the 25th race weekend of the 2025 season at Iowa Speedway, and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. In 2024, Ryan Blaney beat William Byron for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Iowa with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the Cup Series race at Iowa will be $9,797,935 on Sunday afternoon. NASCAR doesn't release the earnings for the winning driver anymore, meaning it's impossible to tell how much of the $9,797,935 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, the purse for the Iowa sat at $8,881,630, which is roughly a $900 thousand increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Iowa this weekend. Blaney is looking to go back-to-back at Iowa, but Byron and Chase Elliott had good cars in 2024. Iowa always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
