The NASCAR Winston Cup Leader Bonus is worth $220,000 to the winner of
the New Hampshire 300 should he also be the NASCAR Winston Cup points leader
after the race. It would be the highest payout in the history of the
program, if awarded. Bobby Labonte won a $190,000 leader bonus at
Indianapolis in 2000, the largest payout yet in the program. The top six
drivers in the current point standings all have a mathematical chance of
winning the bonus. The bonus has only been paid twice in 2002, both times
to Sterling Marlin ($30,000 at Las Vegas and $20,000 at Darlington).
Winston has awarded $1,970,000 in the NASCAR Winston Cup Leader Bonus since
its inception in 1996.
