NASCAR Iowa Corn 350 Prize Money: How much is the winner expected to make at Iowa Speedway in 2025?

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Iowa Speedway for the next race scheduled on the calendar. After an exciting race last weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Bubba Wallace took his first victory of the season, fans would expect another cracking and thrilling experience this weekend for the Iowa Corn 350 race. With the regular season slowly coming to an end, the pressure is high for the drivers who still haven't qualified for the NASCAR playoffs and are in contention for it.

This is only the second time that the NASCAR Cup Series will race at the Iowa Speedway, with Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney clinching the victory last time around. The race on Sunday will consist of a total of 350 laps and three stages, with the first stage of 70 laps, followed by two of 140 laps each.

The total prize money of the Iowa Corn 350 race is $9,797,935, as reported by NASCAR Insider Bob Pockrass.

"Purses for Iowa weekend, including all payouts, all positions, plus year-end points fund, contingency awards, etc., and for Cup, all charter-based payouts for competing and historical performance. Cup: $9,797,935 Xfinity: $1,651,939 through his social media account," Bob Pockrass wrote on X.

The weekend also includes the NASCAR Xfinity series race on Saturday, which has a total prize pool of $1,651,939. Both series have received a significant jump in prize money compared to last year. The 2024 prize pool for the Cup Series stood at $8,881,630, and the Xfinity Series prize pool stood at $1,408,568.
