A milestone weekend at Nashville
The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Nashville Superspeedway for the Cracker Barrel 400, a race that arrives just days after the tragic passing of two‑time champion Kyle Busch. The event will be streamed live on Prime Video, with coverage also available on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, ensuring fans across the United States can follow every lap.
Tyler Reddick sits atop the championship standings, holding a 122‑point advantage over veteran Denny Hamlin. Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota has already collected five victories and ten top‑10 finishes in the first 13 races, a testament to the consistency of the Toyota program this season.
Championship battle intensifies
Kyle Larson boasts the best average finish at the 1.33‑mile track, having cracked the top‑10 in all five Nashville starts, while Joey Logano, a three‑time champion, sits 18th in the points with only two top‑10s to his name this year. A Ford victory would mark the manufacturer’s 750th win in the series, a milestone that adds extra intrigue to the weekend.
Toyota drivers have claimed seven of the opening 13 races, yet none have broken through at Nashville, where the Joe Gibbs Racing contingent has led more laps than any other team. Chevrolet, fresh off a rain‑shortened Charlotte win by Daniel Suarez, looks to extend its five‑race winning streak, while a Ford triumph would underscore its historic reach of 750 series victories.
Schedule and broadcast details
Practice for the Cracker Barrel 400 is slated for Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET, followed by qualifying at 5:40 p.m. ET. The main event will light up the night on Sunday, with the race broadcast on Prime Video, PRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, giving viewers multiple platforms to watch the action live.
