NASCAR returns to Nashville Superspeedway for the second year in a row for a weekend of racing. Like last year, all three major national series will race this weekend, concluding in Sunday's Ally 400 Cup Series event.
NASCAR returned to the Wilson County track last year after a decade-long absence, and officials at Nashville Superspeedway promised a full enjoyment experience as they unveil improvements for 2022.
This year, dozens of new exhibitions, activities, and thrilling performances will take place. Inside the Fan Zone, there will be attractions such as PBR Mechanical Bull Rides, bumper cars, axe tossing, a K9s In Flight exhibition, and more.
Nashville Superspeedway is a familiar sight on the regional sports, entertainment, and festival circuit. The 1.33-mile D-shaped oval has 14 degrees of banking and an 11-turn road course variant that extends the total length to 1.8 miles, where fans will be waiting for the flag to go green on Sunday, June 26, 2022, and watch their favorite drivers compete to take home the victory.
As usual, the NASCAR Cup Series will begin with practice on Friday, June 24, 2022, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. ET and air on USA Network. This will be followed by the qualifying race on Saturday, June 25, which will start at 12 p.m. ET, and will determine the starting pole of Sunday's race. The qualifying session will air on the USA Network.
