Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Get Bioethanol Chevrolet Team Survive Long, Hot Day at Nashville Superspeedway with Stage Points and Top-15 Finish

NASCAR’s first-ever Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway got off to a hot start for Chris Buescher, who was in the mix early and moving through the field in his Fifth Third Bank Ford Mustang.

In the first NASCAR event at Nashville Superspeedway in a decade, Ryan Newman put himself in prime position to capitalize on a chaotic afternoon, finishing 14th in the Planters Ford Mustang.

KYLE LARSON, NO. 5 VALVOLINE CAMARO ZL1 1LE – Race Winner DID IT FEEL THE MOST DOMINANT BEHIND THE WHEEL? “It was a great day. We never really had to run behind people, so I don’t know."

“Just wasn’t the day we were hoping for at Nashville. Our car was strong and qualified in the top-10, but we had that right-rear flat in the second stage and after going to the garage, we just couldn’t recover. We’ll head to Pocono and try to turn things around.”

“Our Monster Jam/Grave Digger Ford Mustang was a lot loose at the beginning and really pretty good the second half of the race."

“We just lost the brakes getting into turn three. It’s super unfortunate for our HighPoint.com/Thorlabs team. We had a really, really good car, and I feel like we were going to be right there for a top-five at the end."

ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 10 Smithfield Ford Mustang -- “We had a good car, just, my goodness, we don’t have anything for those Chevrolets right now. They’re making grip and they’re getting up off the corner."

Christopher Bell (ninth) scored a top-10 finish to lead Toyota in the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday evening.

Kyle Busch led the Toyota’s in qualifying on Sunday morning for the Ally 400 securing the second position to start on the front row when the field takes the green on Sunday afternoon from Nashville Superspeedway.
