Race number 14 of 26 on the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series regular season schedule is the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.
The playoff battle, specifically the battle at the cut line, is heating up heading into this 300-lap race around the four-turn, 1.333-mile (2.145-kilometer) Lebanon, Tennessee oval, which is set to kick off the regular season's second half.
Seven drivers who qualified for the 2026 playoffs are currently outside the top 16 and therefore out of the provisional playoff picture, a playoff picture which has changed after almost every race that has been contested so far this year.
Due to the fact that Saturday's qualifying session was rained out, Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin took pole for Sunday's race by way of the qualifying metric, and 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick is set to start beside him on the front row.
