NASCAR lineup at Nashville set for Sunday night race

[ASFN Admin]

Another week, another chance to brush up on the metric system.

No kilometers or liters involved, however, because this is NASCAR’s data metrics, whipped out whenever qualifying is washed out, as it was Saturday for the second straight week.

In such cases, a combination of recent and year-round data determines the starting lineup. This time, it’ll be Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick starting 1-2 in Sunday night’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Nashville Superspeedway is located about 25 miles of the bustling downtown Nashville. The track opened in 2001 and immediately became part of NASCAR's second- and third-tier series — Truck and what's now known as the O'Reilly Series.

It began hosting an annual Cup Series race in 2021 and has had five different winners in its five races on the 1.3-mile concrete oval.

One pole-sitter has gone on to win at Nashville — Ross Chastain three years ago. The other four winners have started between fourth and 26th.
