Coca-Cola 600 Purse & Payout: How Much Will Winner Make?

Buckle Up for Big Bucks as we take a look at the Coca-Cola 600 Purse and Winners Payout.

NASCAR is at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the legendary Coca-Cola 600 with Cup Series drivers preparing for the longest race of the year, and a hefty payday on the line for the race winner. But how much is on the line exactly, and how is that prize money divvied up? We’ll dive into the Coca-Cola 600 purse, revealing the estimated winner’s share and review the past Coca-Cola 600 winners.

The Coca-Cola 600 is one of NASCARโ€™s crown jewel races, celebrating and honoring our fallen heroes during Memorial Day Weekend. In addition to the tremendous amount of recognition drivers receive for winning it, is a very large payday which accounts for around 8-10 percent of the Coca-Cola 600 purse. That’s a little less than half as much as this weekend’s Indy 500 purse but one of stock car racing’s largest payouts of the season.

What is the 2024 Coca-Cola 600 Total Purse?

According to Fox Sports NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass, the total Coca-Cola 600 purse is just over $9.8 million. This yearโ€™s total purse is about $400,000 more than last seasonโ€™s and should award the winner between $700,000 to $900,000.

Past Coca-Cola 600 Winners

NASCAR’s top series has been racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway since the 1960 World 600 on Sunday, June 19th in, well, 1960. We’ve come a long way since that first race where 60 cars participated. Over the years of coming to Charlotte, NASCAR’s home, there have been multiple drivers to win one of the sport’s crown jewel events multiple times.

Find Great NASCAR gear at Fanatics!

The driver with the most Coca-Cola 600 wins is Darrell Waltrip who outlasted the field a record five times during his career. Just behind him is 7-time Champion Jimmie Johnson who won the race four different times including three straight from 2003 to 2005.

Tar Heel state drivers have represented well on their home track, with the top North Carolina NASCAR drivers claiming victory at the 600 numerous times. The King, Richard Petty, did so twice in 1975 and 1977. The Intimidator Dale Earnhardt grabbed the checkered flag a trio of times going back-to-back in 1992 and 1993. With the most recent being 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney. See all the past Coca-Cola 600 winners below.

Cubs Sign Infielder Dixon Machado to a Minor League Deal

Having missed out on Alex Bregman, the Chicago Cubs today turned to ... Just kidding. These events have nothing to do with each other. The Cubs apparently felt they needed some additional infield depth at Triple-A (is everyone healthy?), and they've signed old friend Dixon Machado to a minor league deal, per the team transaction wire. Machado, 33 later this month, spent the last two seasons primarily playing at Triple-A...
