NASCAR makes its long-awaited return to Music City this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway.
The Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series all race this weekend at the 1.33-mile concrete track. It hosted Xfinity and Truck races from 2001-11.
Sunday’s Cup race will be the first in track history. It also will be the first Cup race in the Nashville market since July 14, 1984 (Fairgrounds Speedway; winner Geoff Bodine).
Practice and qualifying sessions will be held for all three series.
This weekend marks the beginning of NBC Sports’ NASCAR race coverage for the 2021 season.
All Cup and Xfinity sessions will air on NBCSN, as well as stream on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.
