“Last year we had a good run in the Cup car at Nashville. It feels like another unique oval which makes it a lot of fun for me to drive. It’s not your typical short track; it’s like a crossbreed. Nashville has some speed, but it drives like a short track, and you can maneuver around the racetrack as it widens out. I’ve had a lot of fun the last couple years between Xfinity and Cup. Hopefully, we can go there and do the same; it’s definitely a race track I’ve looked forward to going to over the last two years.” – AJ Allmendinger on Nashville Superspeedway

I do really enjoy racing on concrete surfaces, so I am really looking forward to that aspect. Hopefully we can keep steadily improving like we have been doing.” – Justin Haley on Nashville Superspeedway

It has been fun celebrating some really good times there for myself in the past. I used to watch races from Nashville as a kid. It has been fun to go back there and put on a race over the past two seasons. I look forward to doing it for the third year in a row. Your car needs to be good, and as a driver you have to be on top of it. Hopefully we can do that this weekend and have a good weekend.” – Daniel Hemric on Nashville Superspeedway

“Nashville is always a fun track to race at, because it doesn’t run like any other place we go to. It’s not a mile-and-a-half, it’s smaller, but there’s obviously some similarities between it and those tracks. It’s fully concrete like Dover, so grip levels and tire wear are different than what we usually deal with. It all makes for a fun challenge, and I’m curious to see how the Xfinity car will handle there compared to the trucks.” – Chandler Smith on Nashville Superspeedway
