NASCAR has set the full on-track schedule for Nashville Superspeedway this weekend, putting all three national series on the same track across May 29, May 30 and May 31. The weekend ends with the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on Saturday evening.
The first green flag comes Thursday night, when the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series opens the weekend with practice at 3 p.m. Central, qualifying at 4 p.m. Central and the Allegiance 200 at 7 p.m. Central. FS1 carries Truck practice at 3:30 p.m. Central, qualifying and the 150-lap, 199.5-mile race, giving teams a quick turnaround before the series moves on.
That quick return matters because the Truck Series is still working through a spring run of consecutive race weekends, so Nashville lands immediately after the previous event instead of offering much breathing room. The field gets one more night to regroup before the next stop, and the schedule keeps the series in motion at a pace that leaves little margin for mistakes.
Friday belongs to the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and Cup Series preparation. O'Reilly Auto Parts Series practice and qualifying are set for 1 p.m. Central, while Cup practice and qualifying are scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Central on Amazon Prime Video. The night closes with the Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 at 6:30 p.m. Central, a 188-lap, 250-mile race on the CW Network.
Saturday brings the biggest race of the weekend. The Cracker Barrel 400 is scheduled for 6 p.m. Central and will air on Amazon Prime Video and MAX with in-car cameras. The Cup race is set for 300 laps and 399 miles, giving Nashville a full three-day run of national-series racing before the garage empties again.
For fans trying to follow the weekend live, the sequence is clear: Truck action on Thursday, O'Reilly Auto Parts Series racing on Friday and the Cup Series finale on Saturday. What remains to be seen is how the tight schedule, and whatever Nashville weather brings, affects the teams by the time the Cracker Barrel 400 takes the green.
