The NASCAR Cup Series held a single practice session at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Ally 400 on Sunday.
The 38-car field was divided into two groups for this practice session. Below you will find the two practice groups, key notes from the practice session and practice speeds for all drivers.
Nashville is a 1.33-mile tri-oval track that is unique because it is made of concrete. Because of the concrete surface, Nashville is often compared to Dover. Other similar tracks include Kansas and Las Vegas, where Kyle Larson won both races this season.
