What is the Coca-Cola 600 prize money for 2024?
All participating drivers across NASCAR’s three national series will compete for monetary incentives this weekend in North Carolina.
In 2024, the Cup Series race at Charlotte boasts a prize pool of $9,874,821, while the Xfinity and Truck Series races will reward the winner with $1,383,384 and $782,014, respectively.
FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass tweeted the total prize pool that will be up for grabs at Charlotte across the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series:
“Purses for Charlotte weekend, all payouts, all positions and for Cup, all charter payouts for racing, historical performance, etc.: Cup: $9,874,821 Xfinity: $1,383,384 Truck: $782,014”
Coca-Cola 600 Prize Money Breakdown: How much will the winner make at Charlotte Motor Speedway?
According to Bob Pockrass, the winner of the Coca-Cola 600 is likely to receive between eight and 10 percent of the total purse. The remaining purse will be divided among the full-time Cup Series' 36 charter teams according to their finishing position, charter status, etc.
As per this assumption, the 2024 Coca-Cola 600 will likely get 8–10 percent of the overall prize money of $9,874,821, which means the winner will receive a check of around $700,000–900,000.
NASCAR Cup Series action begins with practice and qualifying at 5:05 p.m. ET and 5:50 p.m. ET, respectively, on Saturday, while the main event is on Sunday. Practice and qualifying for the 14th race can be watched live on FS1 and PRN.
