LEBANON, Tennessee – Following the rediscovery of Music City’s rich racing legacy, NASCAR and Nashville have proven to be the perfect couple in recent years. The transformation of Nashville as one of the leading racing cities in the country continues on Sunday, when the NASCAR Cup series returns to Nashville Superspeedway for the second annual Ally 400.
As the first race since the only weekend of the 2022 season, Nashville marked the symbolic start of the second half of the Cup season. This also marks a critical point in the regular season. There are still 10 races before the playoffs, which means that the urgency of the pilots to join the playoff network and establish their own ranking increases.
After being stopped once due to lightning in the area, Sunday’s race was almost halfway – which would make the race official – before another, heavier storm brought rain and lightning to the track. The race was red-flagged for the second time in 139 laps, with Danny Hamlin ahead.
After dominating this race in 2021, Kyle Larson is aiming to regain his championship form and take another Gibson guitar. Who exactly will have to stand against his every guess, as this season has remained unpredictable – as seen by Daniel Suarez, Chris Buscher and Michael McDowell, all fighting for victory in Sonoma.
The TV coverage of Ally 400 is currently on NBC and streaming on fuboTV (Try for free).
