NASCAR is gearing up for the 20th race weekend of the 2026 season at Chicagoland Speedway, and the O’Reilly Series is bound to put on a show. The O’Reilly Series hasn’t competed at the venue since the 2019 season. Now, the sport will head to Chicagoland with a substantial amount of money on the line.
The purse for the O’Reilly Series race at Chicagoland will be $1,661,806 on Saturday evening. NASCAR no longer releases the earnings for the winning driver, making it impossible to determine how much of the $1,661,806 will go toward the team in victory lane. Last year, Chicagoland wasn’t on the schedule, so there’s no accurate comparison to a purse.

It will be fascinating to see which NASCAR driver will earn the most money at Chicagoland this weekend. Justin Allgaier looks to win his sixth race of 2026, but Jesse Love and Corey Day hope to dethrone him. Chicagoland should put on a show, and expectations are through the roof.
