(AP Photo/Colin E. Braley) LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Ross Chastain is ready to get back behind the wheel of a race car after a busy week celebrating going from worst to victory lane at the Coca-Cola 600 for the first time in his career. He also knows only too well how humbling racing can be. Advertisement 'We put ourselves at a lot of high risk getting back on track that the success could be hard again,' Chastain said Saturday still wearing the Coca-Cola 600 winner's ring on his right hand. 'The cars don't know what happened last week.' Chastain has had three top-three finishes over his past four races, and he goes into Sunday night's Cracker Barrel 400 very familiar with Nashville Superspeedway. Music City is home to his Trackhouse Racing team, and Chastain won here in 2023. He also has finished second and fifth, and had a chance to win last year. This also will be Trackhouse Racing's 300th Cup race. Chastain credited his crew chief Phil Surgen and Trackhouse Racing but said he doesn't know why he's been so successful at this track. Chastain said he doesn't feel like he does anything different down to his preparation. Advertisement "We have really, really good race cars,' Chastain said of his No. 1 Chevrolet. This race now is a month earlier than the past four years, and the Cracker Barrel 400 comes exactly halfway through NASCAR's regular season. Chastain is among the eight drivers already locked into the playoffs with a victory. No repeat performance This race took a record five overtimes to finish a year ago with Joey Logano surviving for his first Cup win of 2024. He had saved just enough gas to pull out that victory, so of course it merited a look back just in case. 'You don't know that opportunity will ever present itself again,' Logano said. "It's a pretty rare opportunity for it to end up like that. But because we were ready for it and we were prepared that day that's what helped us win. So yeah, you're always kind of looking at that stuff' Advertisement Concrete challenge Brad Keselowski, currently 32nd in the standings, won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race here in 2008. He walked the D-shaped track Saturday and marveled at how Nashville, which hosted its first races in 2001, has aged since his career-changing victory. 'It's kind of aged like fine wine," Keselowski said. "When I was doing the walk I was thinking about it. The surface is 25, 26 years old, and it's in great condition. The facilities are in great condition. It's just really a kind of walk back in time for me.' Start of new In-Season Challenge Nashville kicks off NASCAR's new In-Season Challenge involving 32 drivers and a single-elimination over five races starting June 28 at Atlanta. The top 32 drivers in points after Sunday night's race in Nashville will make up the field for the three seeding races. Advertisement Those races start at Michigan on June 8, and conclude at Pocono on June 22. Drivers will be seeded by their best finish over those three races for the competition starting at Atlanta. The field will be narrowed to 16 at Chicago, eight at Sonoma, four at Dover and finally two at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The tournament comes with a $1 million prize to the winner and is part of a new media rights deal including TNT. Odds and Ends Denny Hamlin at +350 is the betting favorite to win Sunday night, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, followed by Kyle Larson (+550), Christopher Bell (+650) and William Byron (+725).

Will There Be a Season 2 of ‘The Better Sister?'
All eight episodes of the limited series The Better Sister arrived on Prime Video on May 29 and it already has a lot of fans. It's no wonder, given the show stars TV and film veterans Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks as sisters Chloe and Nicky, two women embroiled in an enthralling murder scheme that makes up the first season's main story. Will we be getting more of this relentless duo? Here's what is known about season 2 of The Better Sister so far. Warning: spoilers for season 1 ahead. Since the first season was only released a few days ago, there's not yet any news on a second season. It was also billed as a 'limited series' and based on a book by Alafair Burke. There's only one story in the novel and it is told. But that hasn't stopped shows from coming back before. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on May 31, showrunners Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado were asked what they 'envision' for a continuing story, but gave no hints if there would be definitively be one. They did agree that whatever the plot, the heart of the story is who is the 'better sister' as dictated by circumstances. 'It depends on any given moment,' said Milch. 'That was, for us, what we were always interested in exploring. That's also true in your relationships, it depends on the day, and we all fuck up, and we all hurt each other, and then we're all the person who needs something, and we're the person who shows up. That was a real guiding light for us in telling the story: All of us are trying to sort of be better than our worst selves, and we don't always succeed. These two sisters think things about each other. The world thinks things about them. And, at different moments, one of them is trying to do the right thing, and one of them has made a mistake, and yet they sort of keep finding each other.' The mystery of season 1 was who killed Adam Macintosh, played by Corey Stoll, Nicky's ex. The eight episodes went back-and-forth on how the two sisters were involved, but ultimately Nicky was the hand that stabbed Adam following an argument about his abusive manipulation. But Chloe is culpable in the murder, covering up the crime and framing Adam's boss, Bill Braddock, portrayed by Matthew Modine. Since Bill has a sordid network of human traffickers at his beck-and-call, it's not a huge leap for him to be arrested by the FBI. At the end of the show, another character is found dead. When asked by THR if there's 'another mystery to solve' presented by that moment, Milch replied, 'I think we very much wanted to deliver a very satisfactory ending for the first season and have it feel like you know what happened, like the mystery is solved. But I think that obviously the truth, particularly around these ladies in this family, is things happen. So there certainly is no definitive answer to that. For now.' Biel and Banks would have to return as the sisters, of course. Stoll's character is dead, but a flashback is always possible, as well as more of Modine's experience post-arrest. Other characters that could potentially return include Maxwell Acee Donovan as Ethan, Nicky and Adam's son, Kim Dickens as Detective Nan Guidry, Gloria Reuben as Michelle Sander, Gabriel Sloyer as Jake Rodriguez, and Bobby Naderi as Detective Matt Bowen. This story will be updated.
