As stated in the previous editions of this article, there’s no definite way of telling how much money is up for grabs in this week’s race at New Hampshire. NASCAR has ceased public disclosure of any information about their money distribution. Yes, it’s quite unfortunate, but we can at least take look back at how much cash every driver earned in the 2015 edition of this particular race (which was then-dubbed as the 5-Hour Energy 301).
Looking at those figures from last year, it’s safe to say that the total purse is going be pretty much the same, or hopefully even a bit higher. Kyle Busch, the 2015 winner, received more than a quarter of a million dollars ($276,431) and was followed by runner-up Brad Keselowski, who brought home a fairly-attractive cash reward of $214,416. These kinds of numbers should keep any driver smiling regardless of their respective results in this Sunday’s race.
