The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Lebanon, Tennessee this weekend after its lone week off in the 2022 season. Ally 400 is the 17th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held next weekend at Nashville Superspeedway in Tennessee. The race will begin at 5:00 p.m. EST and will air on NBC and MRN.
The Ally 400 is contested over 300 laps on the 1.33-mile-long track. The race marks the second trip for the Cup Series to the oval in the series’ history.
The venue opened in 2001 and began hosting Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series races from 2001 to 2011. The longest concrete oval track saw racing return to the facility in 2021 when all three NASCAR series returned.
The venue features 14 degrees of banking and four turns, presenting some unique challenges for the Next Gen car.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share the drivers list of those taking part in the Ally 400.
No open teams are competing in this week’s Cup race. A.J. Allmendinger will drive Kaulig Arcing’s #16 Chevrolet for the third consecutive race, #15 Rick Ware Racing’s Joey Hand returns to the team for his seventh race of the season.
Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson won last year’s inaugural event and finished with a total time of 3 hours, 30 minutes, and 23 seconds.
