Nashville Superspeedway has hosted four Cup races, each resulting in a different winner, leading into last night’s Cracker Barrel 400<\/a>. That trend continued as Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney took his No. 12 to victory lane. Blaney and Penske showcased their power, as all three drivers found themselves near the front at various points throughout the night. Sure, Denny Hamlin was also in the hunt, but neither he nor surprise runner-up finisher Carson Hocevar had anything for Ryan Blaney in Music City.<\/p>\n

The start of the 300-lap event saw Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota continue their dominant run of leading lots of laps at Nashville Superspeedway. Pole sitter Chase Briscoe put his No. 19 out front for the race’s first 51 laps, with Hamlin trying like crazy to run down his teammate.<\/p>\n

Sunday night. Under the lights. 300 laps to settle it!<\/p>\n
