NASCAR’s top drivers will burn some rubber again at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the annual Brickyard 400 race. For this year, the event has been officially branded as: the Crown Royal Presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard.
Last year’s winner, Kyle Busch, will be aiming to finish ahead of the competition for the second-straight time. And besides that, he’s probably looking forward to the guaranteed cash prize for the eventual victor, too. Read on below as we estimate around how much money is up for grabs in this coming race.

For those who are still unaware or may have forgotten, NASCAR no longer reveals to the public anything about their prize-money distribution this season. However, that surely won’t stop us from taking a peak at how much cash each racer received during last year’s edition of the Brickyard 400, which was then-branded as the 2015 Crown Royal Presents the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard.
As mentioned earlier, Kyle Busch brought home the winner’s trophy at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year. But that wasn’t the only thing he brought back home with him. The 31-year-old stock car racer was given a whopping cash prize amounting to almost half a million dollars, or $424,191 to be precise. The eventual winner can expect to earn that much cash–or likely even more—at this Sunday’s race.
