The 2026 Cracker Barrel 400 is set to light up Nashville Superspeedway on May 31, marking the series' return to the 1.33‑mile concrete oval after a year of anticipation.
Fans will be able to watch the event live on Amazon Prime Video, where coverage begins at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, offering a seamless stream for both subscribers and newcomers.
Streaming access and free trial details
Prime members can tune in at no extra cost, while non‑members are invited to take advantage of a 30‑day free trial to experience the broadcast without commitment.
The race will feature a competitive field, with Denny Hamlin listed as the early favorite after his strong performances this season. He will be challenged by series leader Tyler Reddick, who has been closing the gap in recent weeks.
Adding emotional weight to the event, the schedule comes on the heels of Kyle Busch’s recent death from complications of pneumonia and sepsis. Busch, a two‑time champion, had withdrawn from the preceding Coca‑Cola 600 after falling ill, a move that underscored the seriousness of his condition.
Last year’s edition was captured by Ryan Blaney of Team Penske, who took the checkered flag after a strategic pit stop that paid off in the final laps.
A test of endurance on a demanding circuit
The 300‑lap, nearly 400‑mile marathon is renowned for its physical and tactical challenges, demanding precision from drivers and crews alike. The combination of high speeds on the banking and the track’s abrasive surface makes it one of the most grueling races on the calendar.
Beyond the competition, the event underscores the growing partnership between NASCAR and digital platforms, as Amazon Prime Video continues to expand its sports portfolio, bringing major racing moments to a broader audience.
