NASCAR is gearing up for the 14th race weekend of the 2026 season at Dover Motor Speedway, and the Cup Series is bound to put on a show. In 2025, Denny Hamlin beat Chase Briscoe for his fourth win of the year. Now, the sport will head to Dover with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the All-Star Race at Dover will be $3,093,000 on Sunday afternoon. The winner of the NASCAR All-Star Race receives $1,000,000, which has been a tradition for almost 40 years. Last year, the All-Star purse for North Wilkesboro Speedway sat at $2,421,400, which is roughly a $670,000 increase.
It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will win the $1,000,000 at Dover this weekend. Hamlin is looking to go back-to-back in the race at Dover, but Briscoe and Alex Bowman had good cars in 2025. Dover always puts on a show, and this weekend should be no different.
