NASCAR Cup Series in Nashville: Live updates, scores, highlights from the Ally 400

Lebanon, fig – After rediscovering Music City’s rich racing heritage, NASCAR and Nashville have proven to be a perfect pair over the past several years. Nashville’s reclamation as one of the nation’s premier racing cities continues on Sunday, when the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the Nashville Superspeedway for its second annual 400th Gala.

As the first race after the only week of the 2022 season, Nashville marks the symbolic start of the second half of the Cup Series season. It also marks a critical point in the regular season. 10 races now left before qualifying, which means there is an urgent need for drivers to join the qualifying network and create their own groups.

Having been halted once by lightning in the area, Sunday’s race was nearly halfway through – which would have made the race responsible – before another, more severe storm brought rain and lightning to the track. The red flag was placed on the race for the second time after 139 laps, and a long delay in rain ensued before the race resumed at 10:05pm ET.

After dominating this race in 2021, Kyle Larson is looking to reclaim championship shape and claim another Gibson guitar. Exactly who will have to assert himself against anyone’s guess as this season has remained unpredictable – as evidenced by Daniel Suarez, Chris Bucher and Michael McDowell all vying for victory at Sonoma.
