NASCAR heads to Nashville for the Ally 400 on Sunday, June 25. The race will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Chase Elliott prefers to view a very challenging season as opportunity, not pressure. The 2022 Cup Series champ who won last year’s regular season title sits 27th in the points standings as NASCAR returns from the lone break in the 38-race season. Elliott has started only nine of 16 races because of a broken leg and one suspension.

The Cup Series’ most popular driver five years running now has to work to qualify for the playoffs. Elliott says he wants to have fun and embrace the challenge. All of NASCAR should be rested for the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday night.

When is the Ally 400?

The Ally 400 is scheduled for 6 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) on Sunday, June 25.

Preview

CHASTAIN WINS FIRST POLE: Trackhouse Racing and Ross Chastain notched a pair of firsts Saturday as the driver earned both the first pole of his career and the first for his team, and it’s even more special at a track the team considers it’s home after setting up headquarters in Nashville.

Chastain came to Nashville fourth in the Cup points race looking for his first win this season. He won twice last year, the second the spring race at Talladega. He noted qualifying hasn’t been a strength in his career, and he called it incredible to record Trackhouse’s first pole at the team’s home track.

CHECK THE CHANNEL: NBC Sports begins its portion of the NASCAR television package at Nashville through the end of the season. Sunday night’s race is among 10 Cup Series races on NBC itself, including the final six races of the playoffs capped by the championship at Phoenix on Nov. 5.

Earnhardt called Nashville an incredible market to kick off NBC’s coverage this season with the track producing some great racing. The Next Gen car fits this 1.33-mile track that is the longest concrete-only oval on the NASCAR series.

MATURING TRACK: Defending Cup champ Joey Logano enjoys racing at the Nashville Superspeedway much more than during the track’s early years. He won a race here in 2009 and recalled how drivers were limited to running one, sometimes two lanes making the racing boring.

“I guess that’s why people stopped coming, and it went out of business,” Logano said. “But now, like the track’s three to four lanes wide, and the racing has gotten a lot better.”

The last race was held here in 2011. Drivers kept coming, making the track a popular testing spot. Dover Motorsports moved one of its Cup races to Nashville and brought NASCAR back in 2021 with the first Cup race in the area in 37 years. Speedway Motorsports bought Dover in November 2021.
