NASCAR is gearing up for the 20th race weekend of the 2026 season at Sonoma Raceway, and the O’Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Connor Zilisch beat Shane van Gisbergen for his third win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Sonoma with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the O’Reilly Series race at Sonoma will be $1,653,590 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 Sonoma sat at $1,651,939, which is roughly a $2,000 increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Sonoma this weekend. Zilisch is looking to go back-to-back in the race at Sonoma, but van Gisbergen and William Sawalich had good cars in 2025. Sonoma always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
