As the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series heads to Nashville Superspeedway for the first time this season, the 2014 Cup champion Kevin Harvick shared his insights and picked the driver he thinks will win this weekend’s race. Harvick went with a Trackhouse Racing driver to secure his first win of the season in Sunday’s (June 30) Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.
On his eponymous “Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour” podcast, the former driver-turned-commentator explored a detailed analysis of the driver he believes will be in contention to win at the Nashville race on Sunday.
According to Kevin Harvick, the #1 Trackhouse Racing driver Ross Chastain will win the custom guitar trophy again at Nashville. Chastain is the defending winner of the Ally 400; he won the race after beating Martin Truex Jr. in the closing laps in 2023.
