NASCAR is gearing up for the 25th race weekend of the 2026 season at Iowa Speedway, and the O'Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Sam Mayer beat Jesse Love for his first win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Indianapolis with a substantial amount of money on the line.

The purse for the O'Reilly Series race at Iowa will be $1,661,806 on Saturday afternoon. 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 Iowa sat at $1,651,939, which is roughly a $10,000 increase.

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