Chad Finchum Prepares for Nashville Superspeedway Showdown

A hometown driver, new partners and a tribute to Kyle Busch headline the upcoming Cracker Barrel 400

Chad Finchum is set to take the wheel of the No. 66 Garrison Homes / Armbridge Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Garage 66 when the NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Nashville Superspeedway on May 31, running the 300‑lap Cracker Barrel 400 under the lights at 7 p.m. ET.

A Home‑Town Challenge

A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Finchum will be making his fourth points‑race appearance of the season, having already logged more laps around the 1.33‑mile concrete oval than any other driver in his limited Cup Series résumé.

The effort is backed by a stable of partners that includes longtime supporters Garrison Homes, Elite Petroleum and Ted Russell Ford Knoxville, while new alliances with Armbridge and the digital outlet MeatAndCheeseHead.com have been added to the mix.

Finchum will race with heavy hearts, dedicating the outing to the late NASCAR star Kyle Busch, a tribute that adds a poignant layer to an already emotionally charged weekend.

Garage 66 co‑owner Carl Long, who brings prior experience at the Nashville track, is leading the preparation despite a scarcity of simulator data, confident that the team can translate its on‑track work into competitive performance.

Fans will be able to follow the action live on Amazon’s Prime Video, with practice and qualifying sessions scheduled for May 30, setting the stage for what promises to be a tightly contested event.

As the excitement builds, Finchum’s blend of hometown pride, seasoned team leadership and fresh sponsorships positions him as a compelling story to watch when the green flag drops.
