On Sunday, May 31, the NASCAR Cup Series turns toward Nashville Superspeedway for the Cracker Barrel 400—one race at the start of the season’s second half, and one that carries real weight for the Chase cutline.
The green flag is set for approximately 6:20 p.m. CT. The race itself runs 300 laps (399 miles) on the 1.33-mile oval in Lebanon, Tennessee, with stages of 90 laps, 95 laps, and 115 laps.
Denny Hamlin heads to the front after qualifying was canceled on May 30, leaving him on the pole. Behind him. three Fords sit just on the edge of the Chase cutline heading into Nashville: Ryan Preece is 16th after his Texas penalty stood following appeal. Austin Cindric is 17th. and Joey Logano is 18th. Those three drivers are separated by 29 points.
The race is broadcast nationally on Amazon Prime Video. If you want in-car cameras. the HBO MAX app is available for each driver’s feed (subscription required). and audio is also available through PRN streaming and NASCAR.com and SiriusXM on Channel 90 for audio (subscription required). All times are Central.
The qualifying cancellation and the tight gap between the Ford drivers make this weekend feel like it could swing quickly—Hamlin’s pole position changes how the opening run looks, while those 16th-to-18th positions suggest every caution could matter.

Feb. 4 featured the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray (winner: Ryan Preece), Feb. 12 had the America 250 Duels at Daytona International Speedway (winners: Joey Logano and Chase Elliott), and Feb. 15 crowned the Daytona 500 with Tyler Reddick as the winner. March 15 was the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. won by Denny Hamlin. and May 24’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway was won by Daniel Suarez.
