NASCAR Nashville winners and losers: Carson Hocevar is fast, but not making friends
Ryan Blaney took control of the race with a pass for the lead on the restart with 116 laps to go, then drove to his first victory of the NASCAR Cup Series season in the Cracker Barrel 400 on June 1 at Nashville Superspeedway. Blaney won Stage 2 but dropped behind Joey Logano after pit stops at the stage break. Blaney then drove by Logano on a restart on Lap 199 and held the top spot for the majority of the final 100 laps. Advertisement The final pit cycle completed under green, with Blaney holding a sizeable lead over second-place Carson Hocevar and third-place Denny Hamlin. Hocevar finished in second for the second time this season, tying his career-best finish in the Cup Series. Here are the winners and losers from Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville: NASHVILLE RACE RESULTS: NASCAR Nashville results: Ryan Blaney is winner, plus full leaderboard for Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Nashville winners and losers: Winner: Carson Hocevar Hocevar is a future star in the sport, and always a part of the story. Sunday's race had the best and worst of Hocevar, all in 300 laps. Advertisement In Stage 2, Hocevar drove hard into turn 3 and bumped Ricky Stenhouse Jr., sending the No. 47 Chevrolet spinning and into the wall. Stenhouse did not finish, credited with 39th, then told Amazon in an interview that retribution could be coming. But Hocevar finished the second stage in the top 10, then worked the strategy late to end up second after the final pit cycle completed with about 30 laps to go. Hocevar couldn't cut into Blaney's lead at the end, but was able to hold off Hamlin to finish second. It ties a runner-up finish at Atlanta earlier this season as his career-best in the Cup Series. Winner: Bubba Wallace Bubba Wallace needed a good finish badly, but probably did not think he would get one early in the race. Advertisement Wallace was penalized for speeding on the first stop of the race, on Lap 44. He lost a lap, and wasn't able to get it back at the stage end. Wallace did get the free pass on Lap 104 as a group of cautions helped the bottom of the running order, then steadily climbed the leaderboard. The No. 23 Toyota entered the top 10 early in the final stage, and Wallace drove up into sixth on the final run. Wallace entered Nashville with three straight DNFs, dropping out of the top 10 in points. Sunday's result should help Wallace and his 23XI Racing team reset positively as the second half of the regular season begins this month. Loser: Alex Bowman Alex Bowman's stretch of poor finishes continued on Sunday in Nashville after wrecking alongside Noah Gragson early in Stage 2. Advertisement Bowman's 36th-place finish is his fifth finish of 29th or worse in the last seven races, and it puts into question his playoff status with 12 regular-season races left. To give context on Bowman's struggles: He finished second at Homestead and was third in points through six races. After Nashville, Bowman is in 12th in points. Loser: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stenhouse was on the receiving end of Hocevar's too-aggressive bumping on Lap 106. (That incident comes up a couple times, doesn't it?) The No. 47 Chevrolet was a model of consistency throughout the first 13 races, coming into Nashville at 13th in points despite just two top-10 finishes but no finishes outside the top 25. Advertisement But Hocevar's contact sent Stenhouse into the wall, out of the race and down the standings and the playoff picture.

Dale Earnhardt Jr will be in the broadcast booth and reveals what to expect from their coverage. The NASCAR Cup Series made its debut at the Nashville Superspeedway in 2021 after the circuit didn't come through the city for nearly 40 years, and the venue has quickly entrenched itself as a compelling annual stop again. NASCAR returns to the Nashville, Tennessee area for the fifth-straight year with the Cracker Barrel 400 scheduled for Sunday night.

After an exciting Coca-Cola 600 in which Ross Chastain surged past William Byron late for his first win of 2025, the brief history of the Cracker Barrel 400 suggests more action is on the way. Last year's race at Nashville Superspeedway featured a record number of overtime restarts and 31 extra laps. Joey Logano emerged as the winner and it eventually led to his third series championship last fall. Chastain won the 2023 NASCAR race in Nashville and Kyle Larson, after attempting to race in both the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 last week, is the only driver in the Cracker Barrel 400 field with top-10 finishes in all four previous NASCAR Cup Series races at Nashville Superspeedway.

Ross Chastain returns to Nashville after a thrilling Coca-Cola 600 victory

(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). If Hamlin makes the starting line Sunday night remains to be seen. His fiancee is expecting their third child, a boy, with Sunday the due date. Hamlin said he has an eight-hour window to race and get home but hadn't set a timeline to make a final decision before qualifying. 'I can't miss it,' Hamlin said of his new son's arrival. ... This race has had a different winner each of the first four years at this track. ... Country music singer Chase Rice, a former NASCAR pit crew member, will be the honorary pace car driver Sunday night. Rice has sold more than 2.8 million albums and had more than 2.9 billion total streams. His hits include 'Eyes on You,' 'Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen.' and 'Lonely If You Are.' ___ AP auto racing:
