NASCAR Cup Series set for Nashville Superspeedway debut
Fox News
The NASCAR Cup Series will hold its first race at the Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday, June 20. The lower-tier Xfinity series last raced there in 2011.
Better yet, Moses will host a sold-out crowd Sunday of roughly 40,000 spectators when NASCAR's premier Cup Series makes its Nashville Superspeedway debut. It will be a seminal moment for Dover Motorsports, which opened the concrete oval in 2001 seeking a coveted Cup race. After a decade of hosting only NASCAR's minor leagues and eight IndyCar races, the company gave up trying for the big show. "We did not build this track in 2001 to host simply Trucks and Xfinity. It was built for Cup," Moses said in an interview with The Associated Press. "Why weren't we able to attract a Cup race for 20 years, frankly I don't know, and I don't care. My job is to ensure that this runway we have now introduces this marketplace to the best drivers in America and turns this facility into a beloved institution."More Related News
