Nashville Superspeedway will once again find itself as the epicenter of motorsports next May.
The NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series announced their plans to return to the 1.3-mile concrete track for its annual tripleheader weekend May 29-31.
The festivities will begin with the Truck Series on May 29, followed by the newly-named O’Reilly Auto Parts Series on May 30 and the weekend headliner on May 31 – the Cracker Barrel 400 featuring the NASCAR Cup Series.
NASCAR’s premier division has raced annually for the last five years at Nashville Superspeedway, with Cup Series champions Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and Joey Logano all finding their way to Victory Lane.
Nashville Superspeedway has produced some of the most dramatic finishes in NASCAR history, headlined by Nashville-based Trackhouse Racing capturing the checkered flag with Ross Chastain in 2023 and Logano’s record five-overtime finish in 2024.
Start times, on-track competition schedules, additional entertainment and broadcast information for all three races will be released at a later date.
Tickets for the 2026 NASCAR race weekend are already available for sale. Fans can secure their seats by visiting NashvilleSuperspeedway.com or calling 866.RACE.TIX.
“Year after year, we’re so honored to welcome NASCAR back to Middle Tennessee,” Nashville Superspeedway general manager Matt Greci said in a press release. “Our fans and community have embraced this weekend as a can’t-miss celebration to kick off the summer. The team here at Nashville Superspeedway takes pride in blending the best in racing with the energy and hospitality that Nashville is known for.
“This race weekend always delivers exciting finishes and unforgettable memories, and we know that 2026 will be no exception.”
