Nashville Superspeedway is a motor racing complex located in Lebanon, Tennessee, United States, about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Nashville. The track was built in 2001 and is currently used for events, driving schools and GT Academy, a reality television competition.

It is a concrete oval track 1+1⁄3 miles (2.146 km) long. Nashville Superspeedway is owned by Dover Motorsports, Inc., which also owns Dover Motor Speedway. Nashville Superspeedway was the longest concrete oval in NASCAR during the time it was on the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuits. Current permanent seating capacity is approximately 25,000. Additional portable seats are brought in for some events, and seating capacity can be expanded to 150,000. Infrastructure is in place to expand the facility to include a short track, drag strip, and road course.

On April 10, 2025, Cracker Barrel was announced as the title sponsor, replacing Ally.

Prior to the season, NASCAR announced that Nashville, along with 5 other tracks would run the new short track package rather than the intermediate package from 2021 to 2025.
