NASCAR Cup Series: Full qualifying order revealed for Nashville race
By Asher Fair
Nashville Superspeedway was added to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 2021, and it has hosted races every year since.
The four-turn, 1.333-mile (2.145-kilometer) oval in Lebanon, Tennessee may be called Nashville "Superspeedway", but it is not considered a superspeedway when it comes to NASCAR qualifying.
The track is considered an intermediate track, meaning that each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt. The qualifying groups, and more specifically the qualifying order, were determined by a four-variable metric that NASCAR has been using since 2020. A full explanation of that formula can be found here.
The five drivers with the fastest speeds in the first round and the five drivers with the fastest speeds in the second round are set to advance to the second round shootout for the pole position, where all 10 are slated to make another single-lap attempt.
