The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Cracker Barrel 400 on Sunday evening.
The 39-car field was split in to two groups for practice, with each group getting 25 minutes on track.
Below you will find the two groups, key notes from the practice session, as well as the practice speeds for all drivers.
Important Practice Notes
Kyle Busch - Early on during the second Group's session, caution came out and it was because of Kyle Busch, who hit the bump in turn three and four and wound up spinning through the grass off the exit of the corner. There was no noticeable damage to the car.
Josh Berry - Soon after Kyle Busch's spin, Josh Berry did essentially the same thing. He also didn't have any major damage and it shouldn't be anything to worry about for race day.
AJ Allmendinger - The No. 16 Chevrolet had to go back through inspection after NASCAR decided they didn't like something on the Kaulig Racing car. Allmendinger was eventually able to get on track after failing inspection the first time, and he may have to deal with some additional penalties at a later time.
