The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series is rolling into Music City as drivers prepare for the highly anticipated Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Nashville Superspeedway, located in Lebanon, Tennessee, features a 1.33-mile D-shaped concrete oval.
The track will host 300 laps of high-speed drama totaling 400 miles of racing. With drivers still jockeying for playoff position and several storylines unfolding this season, tonight's race promises to deliver excitement.
The Cracker Barrel 400 race is scheduled for today, Sunday, June 2, with a green flag expected at 19:00 ET (16:00 PT). Fans can tune in live through Amazon Prime Video for full coverage.
Audio broadcasts will be available on the Performance Racing Network (PRN) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, offering fans multiple ways to catch the action.
Briscoe leads the charge
Chase Briscoe will lead the field to green after locking up the pole position with a blazing qualifying lap of 164.395 mph-his second consecutive pole.
"This is a big momentum boost," Briscoe said, after breaking the track record. Starting alongside him on the front row is Joe Gibbs Racing veteran Denny Hamlin, always a threat when he's near the front.
William Byron, who currently leads the Cup Series points standings, will start third and looks to continue his impressive season for Hendrick Motorsports. Tyler Reddick, representing 23XI Racing, starts just behind him in fourth and brings consistency and aggressive cornering that make him a potential winner.
Ross Chastain, fresh off a victory in Charlotte, rounds out the top five. The driver from Trackhouse Racing is hoping to ride that momentum into another checkered flag. Brad Keselowski, the highest-qualifying Ford driver, will take off from sixth. RFK Racing continues to show strong development under his leadership.
Christopher Bell, Michael McDowell, Joey Logano, and Chris Buescher complete the top ten starters, all hoping to strike early and avoid late-race traffic jams. Not far behind is Chase Elliott, starting in 11th, while Kyle Larson-always a wildcard-will begin deep in the pack at 28th.
With 39 drivers in the field, the Cracker Barrel 400 is shaping up to be a wild ride under the lights.
