Nashville Superspeedway was added to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 2021 and has been a popular stop ever since. Not only do fans, drivers, and teams get to enjoy Downtown Nashville – although it’s a 45-minute drive – but the racing at the 1.33-mile concrete oval has been highly competitive. Nashville races like an intermediate track, but since it’s slightly smaller, it brings a few quirks more suited for short tracks.

Last year’s race was action-packed, culminating in five overtimes filled with wrecks and empty fuel tanks. That led to 2024 Cup champion Joey Logano stretching his fuel to earn his only regular-season win that qualified the No. 22 team for the playoffs.

That said, not a whole lot of stock can be put into Logano’s win, as he was running outside the top 10 before the overtime party started. However, Logano does have three top 10s at Nashville, along with the second-highest average finish (9.8) of those who have run all four Music City events.

Kyle Larson has the overall highest average finish (4.5). Larson won the inaugural race in 2021, is tied for the most top 5s with three and has a top 10 in all four races. 2023 winner Ross Chastain has the third-best average finish (10.3) and is tied with Larson for the most top 5s.

Despite not winning at Nashville, Denny Hamlin has led the most overall laps (265, just one lap better than Larson), and has led at least 70 laps in the last three Nashville races, notching one top 5 and two top 10s in that span.

Chase Elliott didn’t have a great Nashville run in 2024, but he won in 2022 and earned a fourth-place finish the following year.

Scouting report

At 1.33 miles, Nashville Superspeedway has elements that make it both an intermediate and a short track, with some Dover mixed in due to its concrete surface. That makes it one of the trickiest tracks on the schedule from both an engineering and racecraft standpoint. There’s really nothing else like it on the schedule. Because it’s shorter than the average intermediate, the racing is tighter too, which contributed to the record five-overtime finish won by Joey Logano last year. The Nashville TV market is also one of the top five for the sport, and fans show up both in volume and enthusiasm.
