NASCAR is gearing up for the 22nd race weekend of the 2026 season at EchoPark Speedway, and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Chase Elliott beat Brad Keselowski for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to EchoPark with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the Cup Series race at EchoPark will be $11,233,037 on Sunday night. 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 EchoPark 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 EchoPark this weekend. Elliott is looking to go back-to-back in the summer race at EchoPark, but Keselowski and Alex Bowman had good cars in 2025. EchoPark always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
