NASCAR: 2024 Nashville qualifying updates, full starting lineup

Nashville Superspeedway is scheduled to host its fourth annual NASCAR Cup Series race this Sunday afternoon to open up the second half of the 36-race 2024 season.

The four-turn, 1.333-mile (2.145-kilometer) Nashville Superspeedway oval in Lebanon, Tennessee was added to the schedule in 2021, and it has produced three different winners in three races.

With the track being considered an intermediate track, the traditional qualifying format is set to be used ahead of the 300-lap Ally 400, with each driver set to make a single-lap attempt in the opening round. The top five drivers in each of the two groups are then set to make another single-lap attempt in the second round.

The qualifying groups, and more specifically the qualifying order, were determined by the metric that NASCAR has used since 2020. A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.

The drivers who don't make it out of the first group are set to line up on the outside lane, and the drivers who don't make it out of the second group are set to line up on the inside lane, marking a slight change from when the series most recently raced at the track last June.

Additionally, thanks to an in-season rule change that NASCAR just introduced last week, the second round shootout for the pole position is also set to be group-based, meaning that the only driver guaranteed to line up where his speed indicates is the fastest driver – and therefore the polesitter.

The change was set to debut at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last Saturday, but qualifying for the USA Today 301 was rained out.
