NASCAR Cup Series at Nashville: Starting lineup, TV schedule for Sunday's race

Nashville Tennessean

The NASCAR Cup Series is back at Nashville Superspeedway for their second-ever race at the 1.333-mile oval.

Defending champion Kyle Larson was dominant in 2021, but that has not translated to the Next Gen car (though he does have a win in 2022).

With 10 regular season races remaining, 12 drivers have won this year. 16 playoff spots are available. Kevin Harvick, who has the 6th-best average finish in 2022, is currently on the outside looking in. 

Here's what you need to know about Sunday's race:
