By David Morgan, Associate Editor LEBANON, Tenn. – Winner. Finally.

Ascending to the lead on the fourth overtime when the leaders ahead of him started running out of fuel, Logano was in just as much dangerRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor LEBANON, Tenn. – Mother Nature played no favorites in Saturday’s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway, especially for those pulling double duty to run both the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series races on back-to-back days under blazing sun. When the checkered flag flew, a number of drivers required attention in the form of ice, cold water, and a visit to the Infield Care Center to aid in recovery before strapping back in less than 24 hours later. John Hunter Nemechek fared the best ofRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor LEBANON, Tenn. – Josh Berry has lived his career behind the wheel in the unknown and heading into 2025, he’s back in that mode again after the announcement that Stewart-Haas Racing as we know it will be shuttered at season’s end. Having scratched and clawed for his entire career to finally get to the NASCAR Cup Series full-time with SHR this season, Berry isn’t ready to let the dream of racing in NASCAR’s premier division go. To make sure he’s around for years to come, theRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor LEBANON, Tenn. – The NASCAR Cup Series is back in Music City for the fourth straight year to take on Nashville Superspeedway and Sunday’s running of the Ally 400. Prior to its Cup debut in 2021, the track located on the outskirts of Nashville in Lebanon, Tennessee, was no stranger to hosting NASCAR events with both the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series running there from 2001 to 2011 before the track was shuttered. The Nashville track serves as an oddity on the CupRead More

Starting the night in third place, the driver of the No. 19 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing Chevrolet ascended to the top of the scoring pylon off Turn 2 on the first lap and never looked back, leading every single lap from there on outRead More

However, those plans were turned on their head on Wednesday when race organizers and IndyCar officials announced that the race would not be held downtown, but instead outside the cityRead More
