NASCAR set for Nashville Superspeedway, a 1.3-mile intermediate track, in 2021. A Nashville short track may have been a better choice.
NASCAR’s return to Nashville Superspeedway is exciting news for a city that welcomed with open arms as the site of the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series banquet last fall. The change of pace from Las Vegas to Nashville proved to be a home run for the sport.
