There are 7 million reasons why the NASCAR drivers are looking forward to racing at the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 this weekend, as the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 is one of the top purses on tour, as there will be 7 million dollars in total prize money to race for this weekend.

On Sunday, the Nascar Sprint series cup, the winning purse is $5.4 million dollars, while the Saturday race of the Nationwide Cup will have a purse of close to $1.2 million. Plus, the folks at New Hamsphire Motor Speedway have been busy fixing up the place, as they added more then 3,400 additional fencing along track side seating and the infield has been stretched from 1.5 acres to 7 acres. In fact, the winner of Sunday’s race will be enjoying the new look victory lane and enjoy some of that huge prize money!
