The richest race purse in the history of NASCAR Winston Cup Series competition will be at stake when the green flag waves on the 45th annual Daytona 500 on February 16 at Daytona International Speedway. The posted awards for this year's Daytona 500 are $13,816,240, an increase of $1.5 million from last year's posted awards. The posted awards for last year's Daytona 500, won by Ward Burton, were $12,314,505.
"The Daytona 500 is the most prestigious race in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and this year's competitors will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts," Speedway President Robin Braig said.
The driver that takes the checkered flag in the Daytona 500 will pocket a minimum of $1,352,080. The second, third, fourth and fifth-place finishers will receive $949,550, $654,850, $503,175 and $375,075, respectively.
