A Rain‑Soaked Qualifying Session
Denny Hamlin will lead the field for the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway after the qualifying session was canceled due to rain. NASCAR instead applied its rule‑book metric to set the starting lineup, promoting Hamlin to the pole position.
Chase Elliott and Chase Briscoe, both of whom suffered DNFs in the previous week’s event, will start from the back of the grid. The metric‑based ordering ensured a competitive grid despite the weather interruption.
Broadcast and Streaming Coverage
The race will be televised nationally on Amazon Prime Video, bringing the action to millions of viewers across the United States. In‑car camera feeds will be available through HBO Max, while live audio commentary can be streamed on NASCAR.com.
The event takes place on a 1.33‑mile oval in Lebanon, Tennessee, and will consist of 300 laps divided into three stages — 90 laps, 95 laps and 115 laps — covering a total distance of 399 miles.
