The official NASCAR season is about to move towards its climax, and the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval is expected to provide one of the most important weekends aimed at the end of 2025. As the Cup, the Xfinity, and the Craftsman Truck Series will all hit the 2.32-mile, 17-turning hybrid road/oval in early October, the prize accounts have been announced- and they are huge. With the NASCAR playoffs, not only do drivers chase playoff glory, but they also get serious money.
NASCAR Cup Series: Bank of America Roval 400
The headliner of the weekend is the Bank of America Roval 400, which is a seminal Round of 12 NASCAR playoff race. It is one of the richest on the schedule with a total purse that is eye-popping of $9,386,054.
Although NASCAR does not release the official amount a driver will receive upon winning the race, the victor at the end of the race is likely to get between 8-10 percent of the entire jackpot, between 783,834 to 979,793 of the overall purse. That comes with a virtual million-dollar prize, winning one of the most capricious tracks in the show.

Cup: $9,386,054

In the case of other competitors such as Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and Joey Logano, the Roval is not just the way to the Round of 8. It is about making it through a madman elimination race where there is almost ten million dollars at stake.
NASCAR Xfinity Series Drive for the Cure 250 Prize Money: What Is the Purse?
The Xfinity’s Sin Tax establishes its own change into the weekend and the Drive for the Cure 250. The race is an excellent chance to give a boost to the Playoff drivers, coupled with a purse of $1,801,278.
Known for its unpredictable action on the Roval’s tight corners and sudden elevation changes, the race is often a proving ground for rising stars.
Drivers like Cole Custer and Justin Allgaier will be fighting not only for playoff position but also for their share of the purse. Cup Series veterans who dip into Xfinity competition also see the Roval as the perfect place to sharpen their road-course skills.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Charlotte Roval Prize Money: What Is the Purse?
Topping up the weekend is the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, which will have a purse amounting to $736,214. Although the Cup and Xfinity payouts are larger, the stakes are equally big on these drivers, some of whom are cutting their initial large breaks in NASCAR.
The Roval Truck race is known to also be a restart that ends wildly, and also aggressive racing. Such names as Corey Heim and Ty Majeski are likely to be in the line, demanding every inch of racing strips and every dollar of prize money. To the young talent, the proceeds of the winner might be more than cash, but it might be a step toward being on a full-time Cup mount.
The Bigger Picture: Money Meets Mayhem
The Charlotte Roval is more than just another stop on the schedule. For the Cup Series, it’s a NASCAR playoff elimination race, cutting four drivers from championship contention. For the Xfinity and Truck Series, it’s a chance to prove mettle on one of the sport’s trickiest layouts.
The multi-million dollar purses together are just fuel for the fire. Money, promotion to the playoffs, and bragging rights are all on the line, and the weekend of the Roval in October of 2025 will not be short of any close races, bold action, or thrills.
