The 2027 NASCAR Nashville race at Nashville Superspeedway will take place on June 6, NASCAR announced on Aug. 26.
That means the Cracker Barrel 400 will be slightly later in the season than it was in 2026, when the Cup Series was run on May 31. The 2025 race did not end until near midnight due to a weather delay. Denny Hamlin won the 2025 race, holding off teammates Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe.

Five of the six Cup races at Nashville Superspeedway have sold out.
“Nashville has proven itself as one of the most electric stops on the NASCAR schedule and our fans are the reason why,” Nashville Superspeedway general manager Matt Greci said. “Selling out this race weekend has become the standard here. That kind of support is what drives us to keep raising the bar. We can’t wait to bring the best of NASCAR back to Middle Tennessee in June 2027.
