Two weeks ago, Martin Truex Jr raced to victory at the Toyota / Save Mart Raceway at Sonoma Raceway. This made for a nice turnaround for Truex after he had problems last year in this same race in the first season for the Next Gen car. He fought through a tough caution and led 51 out of 110 laps, getting his second win of the season and his fourth career win at Sonoma, the most among active Cup Series drivers. He now has 33 wins overall, as he beat Kyle Busch by a dominant 2.979 seconds. This week, the Cup Series is at the Nashville Superspeedway, with the Ally 400. The race is set for Sunday evening at 7:00 pm Eastern time. NBC has the telecast, and you can listen on PRN or the SiriusXM app. Don’t miss the NASCAR betting odds for the field of drivers and our wager card suggestions.

Kyle Larson
ran away with the 2021 race at Nashville, which has a concrete surface that causes some drivers more problems than others. Larson has also won at Dover and Bristol, so he knows how to handle the surface.William Byron
led most of the laps at Dover earlier this season, and Dover is a concrete track. Many drivers who win at Nashville have also done very well at Dover.Denny Hamlin
had average lap times in the top five of the field at Kansas, Gateway, Dover, Martinsville, Phoenix and Las Vegas. That sort of consistency does pay off occasionally.Kyle Busch
led 121 of the 243 laps at Gateway, the last oval race, and he won. Now that he’s with RCR, Busch has solid equipment to go along with his elite talent.Martin Truex Jr.
has benefited from the speed in the JGR Toyotas this season. They can really go at ovals as well as road courses, and Truex won the Dover race this year. This concrete factor seems to have more weight than whether the tracks are banked and how long they run.Chase Elliott
won at Dover and Nashville last year, showing his own concrete expertise. His average lap time at Dover was the fastest, and he had the second fastest at Gateway, both on concrete surfaces.Ross Chastain
came in second at Nashville in 2021 and fifth in 2022. A lot of Chastain’s major sponsors are in Nashville, so he could be motivated to dominate more at the end – or that extra energy could lead to another one of his signature late crashes.Tyler Reddick
has had an up-and-down season in his first campaign with 23XI racing, but his Toyota has the speed to excel here.Christopher Bell
is still looking for his first win on an intermediate track in the Cup Series. He won a lot of intermediate races against Xfinity Series drivers who are not at his level, but at Nashville, he has a pair of top-ten finishes so far.Kevin Harvick
is in the SHR Ford, which is not quite as race-optimal as the Hendrick Chevrolets or the JGR Toyotas. Harvick has still remained in the top ten reliably. In his last five starts, he has finished as high as second (at Darlington) and as low as 11th (Kansas, Sonoma, Charlotte).Driver Standings |
