How Much More Do NASCAR Cup Drivers Earn Than Their O’Reilly Counterparts?

Cup drivers average $411,000 per race, while O’Reilly (formerly Xfinity) drivers make just $68,000 — nearly a sixfold gap. With charters guaranteeing $7–18 million annually before sponsorship and a $12.39M prize pool at the 2025 finale, Cup money dwarfs O'Reilly’s $2.5M. It’s why even mid-pack Cup racers out-earn top O’Reilly title challengers like Jesse Love and Connor Zilisch.
