On Sunday night, the Cracker Barrel 400 was held at Nashville Superspeedway. The NASCAR Cup Series was there, and Ryan Blaney put on a show to win his first race of 2025. Before Nashville’s win, Rajah Caruth wasn’t feeling playoff pressure. -00:59

The events that took place at Nashville Superspeedway during the Cracker Barrel 400 

Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe led the field to the green for the second week in a row. Once the race got underway, AJ Allmendinger served his stop-and-go penalty after his inspection penalty on Saturday.
Briscoe led much of the opening stage, but could not hold off a hard-charging Denny Hamlin, who made the pass for the lead on Lap 83 and won the caution-free opening stage.
After starting in 15th place and not being able to move up in the first stage, Ryan Blaney stayed out for about 30 laps longer than the leads and decided to pit on Lap 70.

After a two-tire call during the first caution, that gave him the lead to start Stage 2. In contrast to the first stage, Stage 2 had a lot of stops.

The first was when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spun after Carson Hocevar hit him on Lap 106.

On Lap 114, not long after the next restart, Alex Bowman got loose under Noah Gragson and sent both of them into the outside wall. Around the Lap 119 restart, things went pretty much the same way.

Erik Jones crashed into Christopher Bell while the two were racing for fifth place.

Soon after, Corey Heim crashed into Brad Keselowski as he was coming out of Turn 4, sending Keselowski spinning down the front stretch on Lap 130.
There was a thrilling fight for the lead between Blaney, Hamlin, and William Byron, which went three wide. On Lap 169, Blaney took the lead on the inside and won Stage 2 in Music City. On Lap 194, Ryan Preece spun and made light touch with the outside wall in Turns 1 and.
This was the last incident that led to a caution. With 102 laps to go, Blaney took advantage of a great restart and passed teammate Joey Logano to take the lead.
There was one last planned pit stop left in the last 100 laps.
Ryan Blaney secures season-opening triumph

After extending his lead to nearly four seconds over Hamlin prior to green-flag stops in the final stage, Blaney had a good sequence when he hit pit road on Lap 248 and never looked back en route to his first win of the 2025 season, his first at Nashville and the 14th of his career.
Blaney led a race-high 139 of the 300 laps and won by a comfortable 2.83 seconds over Hocevar, who equaled his career-best finish of second.

Bubba Wallace rallied from a pit road speeding penalty on Lap 44 to finish sixth. Kyle Larson overcame a 28th-place starting position and a near-miss in the Lap 114 incident between Bowman and Gragson to finish eighth.
