For the second week in a row, NASCAR drivers will race under the lights; it’s time for the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway and the kickoff of the second half of the regular season.
The 400-mile race consists of 300 total laps, divided into three stages of 90, 95, and 115 laps.
This year marks the sixth running of this Cup Series race. Each of the past six races has had a different winner, so 2025 winner Ryan Blaney is entering today’s race with the potential to become the first back-to-back winner in the race’s history. Blaney will start seventh today after qualifying was cancelled due to inclement weather.
