MUSIC CITY: Inclement weather forced the cancellation of NASCAR Cup Series qualifying at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, with the starting lineup for Sunday's Cracker Barrel 400 set per the NASCAR Rulebook. NASCAR was able to complete a full-field practice session during a break in the weather, giving teams an opportunity to gather valuable data ahead of the weekend's 300-lap event.

The 1.33-mile concrete oval, located in Lebanon, Tenn., will host just its sixth Cup Series race since joining the schedule in 2021. Team Penske enters the weekend looking to continue its recent success at the Tennessee track after winning each of the last two races there. Joey Logano captured the victory in 2024 in a memorable event that featured five overtime finishes and extended 31 laps beyond the scheduled distance, the most extra laps ever run in a Cup Series race. Ryan Blaney followed with a win in 2025, giving the organization back-to-back Nashville victories and earning one of the track's signature Gibson Les Paul guitars.

Team Penske enters the weekend with a strong track record at Nashville. Austin Cindric owns a best finish of seventh in four starts at the track, while Logano has recorded top-10 finishes in four of his five appearances, including his 2024 victory. Blaney has also been a consistent contender, posting a win, a third-place finish and a sixth-place result in five Nashville starts.
