1 Jun
Summary
- Ryan Blaney could become the first repeat winner.
- The race honors the late Kyle Busch.
- This event will stream exclusively on Prime Video.
NASCAR drivers are set to race under the lights once again for the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, kicking off the second half of the regular season on May 31. The 400-mile event features 300 laps divided into three stages and is in its sixth year of the Cup Series. Each previous race has seen a different winner, making 2025 champion Ryan Blaney a contender to make history as the first back-to-back victor. He qualified in seventh place after the cancellation of qualifying due to weather.
The race will also pay tribute to the recently deceased driver Kyle Busch. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will notably race a paint scheme inspired by a car Busch used a decade ago, a nod to their past interactions. The Cracker Barrel 400 is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET and will be exclusively broadcast on Prime Video, not on traditional television. Those without a subscription can utilize a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to watch, which also includes other Prime benefits. Discounted memberships are available for young adults.
