Three days of NASCAR action return to Middle Tennessee, headlined by the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on May 31
LEBANON, Tenn. – Nashville Superspeedway will once again serve as the launchpad for summer in Middle Tennessee when NASCAR returns in 2026 for a triple-header weekend next May 29-31.
The weekend will open May 29 with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race, followed by the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on May 30 and capped by the May 31 headliner — the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race.
“Year after year, we’re so honored to welcome NASCAR back to Middle Tennessee,” said Matt Greci, general manager of Nashville Superspeedway. “Our fans and community have embraced this weekend as a can’t-miss celebration to kick off the summer. The team here at Nashville Superspeedway takes pride in blending the best in racing with the energy and hospitality that Nashville is known for. This race weekend always delivers exciting finishes and unforgettable memories, and we know that 2026 will be no exception.”
Over the years, Nashville Superspeedway has seen some of NASCAR’s biggest stars take the checkered flag, including Cup Series champions Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and Joey Logano — whose record five-overtime victory in 2024 stands as one of the most dramatic in recent memory — along with Nashville-based Trackhouse’s Ross Chastain.
Start times, on-track competition schedules, additional entertainment and broadcast information for all three races will be released at a later date.
