NASCAR returns to Nashville Superspeedway this weekend with practice sessions, qualifying and races scheduled for all three national series across May 29 through May 31.
Fans and teams are searching for the Nashville Superspeedway schedule because the track will host back-to-back on-track activity for the Craftsman Truck Series, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Cup Series over one concentrated weekend.
The weekend opens May 29 with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series running all of its on-track sessions: practice at 3 p.m. Central, qualifying at 4 p.m. Central and the Allegiance 200 race at 7 p.m. Central; the Allegiance 200 is set for 150 laps and 199.5 miles. On May 30 the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will hold practice and qualifying at 1 p.m. Central, while Cup Series practice and qualifying are scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Central; the Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is slated for 6:30 p.m. Central and will run 188 laps, 250 miles. The weekend closes May 31 with the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at 6 p.m. Central, a 300-lap, 399-mile event. All on-track activity listed is at Nashville Superspeedway unless otherwise noted.
This is a compact, three-day schedule that places every national series at the same venue: the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and the NASCAR Cup Series. That concentration of sessions means the venue will cycle from practice to qualifying to race in rapid order, forcing teams and crews to turn around setups and strategies between sessions on the same day.
What the schedule does not provide is a list of who will be on the grid. The timetable establishes when practice will tune cars and when qualifying will set starting positions, but specific driver entries and the full field for each race are not part of the published schedule. For spectators planning travel or broadcast viewers mapping their weekend, the lack of entry lists is the gap between knowing when the cars run and knowing which drivers will be racing those laps.
The immediate next on-track item is the Truck Series practice at 3 p.m. Central on May 29, followed by Truck qualifying at 4 p.m. Central and the Allegiance 200 at 7 p.m. Central that evening. That sequence will produce the first public running of the weekend, set the opening starting grid and offer the earliest clarity on which drivers and teams have landed at the front as the weekend unfolds.
