After a rare weekend off, NASCAR Cup Series drivers were able to hit the pavement today at Nashville Superspeedway for practice. Tyler Reddick paced the 50-minute practice session at 162.250 mph in his No. 45 Camry. The 23XI Racing driver was followed by fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. Ross Chastain, Erik Jones, and William Byron completed the rest of the top-five. The only incident during the session was a spin by Kyle Busch, but he did not hit anything.

Reddick also had the fastest 10-lap average speed, joined by Chastain, Truex, Byron, and Kyle Larson. Qualifying for the Ally 400 is up next, which begins at 1 PM ET tomorrow. Both races at Nashville have been won from top-five starting positions, but a driver has yet to win from pole.

Hendrick Motorsports will be aiming to go three-for-three this weekend after winning the first two races in the return to Nashville. Kyle Larson took the checkered flag in 2021 and Chase Elliott is the defending race winner. Both are certainly capable of getting another victory on Sunday, and William Byron has been arguably the hottest driver so far this season. Elliott will need to win one of the final ten regular season races in order to qualify for the Playoffs.

There may not have been a race last weekend but that didn't stop the news cycle. Stewart Haas Racing had a busy week, beginning with some crew chief lineup changes on Tuesday, then a driver announcement on Wednesday. The organization announced that Josh Berry will be taking over the No. 4 Ford next season, following in the footsteps of the retiring Kevin Harvick. The four-car team also has Aric Almirola and Ryan Preece on one-year deals for this season.

Another major announcement came from the Joe Gibbs Racing stable, as the company sold a minority equity stake in the team to Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, with new Commanders owner Josh Harris. The move allows Gibbs to keep full control over the team, should the family eventually want to take over. It also gives them options if they decide to go the other direction down the line.
