NASCAR Truck Series purse rises to $789,700 for New Hampshire contest
The 2026 New Hampshire Motor Speedway event marks a modest year-on-year increase in prize money, with defending champion Corey Heim targeting a repeat victory.
The NASCAR Truck Series has confirmed the total purse for its August 2026 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway stands at $789,700. This figure represents a $6,800 increase from the previous year’s allocation of $782,900, reflecting a slight adjustment in the financial structure of the event.
The race is scheduled as the 27th weekend of the 2026 season and is set to take place on a Saturday afternoon. While the total pool has grown, the specific earnings for the winning driver remain undisclosed, as NASCAR no longer releases detailed victory lane payout figures.
Defending champion Corey Heim enters the contest aiming for a back-to-back victory at the venue. Heim secured his ninth win of the 2025 season at New Hampshire, finishing ahead of rival Chandler Smith.
Smith remains a key contender for the 2026 event, as does Layne Riggs, who also demonstrated strong performance at the track in the previous year. The competition is expected to be tight, with multiple drivers having shown competitiveness at New Hampshire in recent seasons.
The purse structure continues to be a focal point for teams and drivers, although the exact distribution of funds to the winning entry is no longer publicly itemised by the governing body.
