His second victory purse included a bonus for being a repeat winner.Organizers do not announce the specifics for the purse until after the race, but we have a good idea of what it could be. If Newgarden wins again, his purse would be slightly bigger than someone else’s due to another rollover bonus.All drivers can expect at least $3.8 million which would be in the result of no increase from last year and no rollover bonus.Helio Castroneves’ win in 2009 set the record for the most prize money at $3.048 million, and the winner’s purse stayed at that total for years.
