Rain Delays Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Race at Nashville Superspeedway

Denny Hamlin secures pole as officials halt the start of the 300‑lap event

Rain showers rolled into Nashville Superspeedway shortly after 5:45 p.m. Central, prompting officials to halt the green‑flag start of the Cracker Barrel 400.

The original start time of 6:20 p.m. was pushed back as the precipitation, though light, was enough to keep the track unsafe for racing.

Pole Position Amid the Pause

Denny Hamlin had claimed pole position earlier in the weekend, and his front‑row starting spot now sits as the race awaits a clearer window.

The delay marks the third consecutive day of weather interruptions at the Nashville weekend, following a more than two‑hour postponement of the Craftsman Truck Series event on May 29 and the cancellation of Cup Series qualifying on May 30.

Series officials have not yet announced a new start time, but they remain hopeful that the track will dry sufficiently to resume the 300‑lap contest later this evening.
