After a week off, giving drivers and teams a chance to rest and recalibrate, the NASCAR Cup Series comes to the country music capital for a Sunday night race at Nashville Superspeedway.
This is the third year in a row that Nashville will host a Cup race, and so far only Hendrick Motorsports drivers have celebrated the victory. Kyle Larson won the inaugural race in 2021 and Chase Elliott took the checkered flag last year.
Elliott will be hoping for a repeat as he is back to 27th in the standings after missing seven races this season. The 2020 series champion will almost certainly need a win in one of the 10 remaining regular season races if it hopes to make the playoffs for the eighth straight year.
Martin Truex Jr. (two wins) of Joe Gibbs Racing leads the standings, with William Byron (three wins) of Hendrick Motorsports just 13 points back in second.
