Nashville is the next stop for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series for the Cracker Barrel 400. Amid a late start due to inclement weather, this race is NASCAR's way to welcome summer.

As the green flag waved, Nashville brought the heat to NASCAR. In the first stage, Denny Hamlin was penalized for jumping the start, while AJ Allmendinger won Stage 1. Stage 2 featured Todd Gilliland spinning out, which affected Ryan Heim and Cole Custer. Daniel Suarez emerged as the winner of Stage 2. In the final stage, Bubba Wallace slid down the track and collided with Alex Bowman.
