This weekend, we head to Nashville for the Cracker Barrel 400. The race is Sunday at 7pm ET on Prime. This is only the fifth time the Cup Series has run a race at Nashville Speedway. Nashville Speedway is a unique racetrack for the Cup Series. It’s a 1.333-mile concrete “flat track,” which makes it tough to comp it to any other track. This is the same right-side tire as last season, but they’re changing to the left-side tire we’ve had at Vegas, Texas, Homestead, Darlington, and Kansas. I’ll use those tracks plus Dover and Charlotte when looking for comp data. I’ll look at recent Nashville, 2025 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Practice correlated well here the last 2 seasons, so I will use practice data a little more than I usually do.
