NASCAR unveils full Nashville tripleheader schedule, streaming map

    May 27th, 2026

    Summary

    NASCAR released qualifying orders and a full weekend advance for the tripleheader at Nashville Superspeedway, setting up a three-day slate May 29–31 that will feature the Cup Series, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. The announcement confirmed the event is the fifth consecutive combined weekend at Nashville and will culminate with the Cracker Barrel 400 on Sunday, May 31 at 7 p.m. ET. Thirty-eight cars are entered for the weekend. Broadcasters and streaming partners are split across sessions; the Cup race will stream on Prime Video and HBO Max, with radio audio on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

    Friday, May 29 will open with Truck practice at 4 p.m. ET, Truck qualifying at 5:05 p.m. ET and the Craftsman Truck Series’ Allegiance 200 at 8 p.m. ET on FS1. Saturday, May 30 will include O’Reilly Auto Parts Series practice and qualifying and the Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 at 7:30 p.m. ET on The CW. Cup practice is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, followed by Cup qualifying at 5:40 p.m. ET; both Cup sessions will stream on Prime Video. The qualifying-order release set starting positions across all three national series and outlined the media coverage for the weekend.

    Nashville Superspeedway’s 1.33-mile concrete oval and abrasive surface are expected to be major factors, especially under primetime lights when tire wear typically forces strategy-heavy racing. The timing of the weekend arrives at a critical point in the season for playoff positioning, raising the stakes for setup and pit strategy.

    Notable entries include Corey Heim in the No. 67 for 23XI Racing in the Cup race — his fifth Cup start of the season, coming off a season-best 15th-place finish at Kansas — and Kyle Larson in the No. 88 for JR Motorsports in the O’Reilly event — his fourth O’Reilly Series start of the season, with two wins in those starts. Team Chevy’s race advance framed the weekend as a marquee return of national-series racing to Music City under the lights.
