Names like Biffle, Waltrip, Sorenson, Edwards along with 5 other drivers won the annual Pepsi 300 that was held at the Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, TN. It was always held on the weekend where the Cup regulars would have the weekend off for Easter. Another track that is sadly one that sits and waits for something to return. Until 2011 the Xfinity Series raced here on Easter Weekend. Many Cup regulars would enter but it was still a fan favorite. A concrete superspeedway was something you didn't see much on the NASCAR Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series, ARCA Racing Series, and Indy Car Series. It was one of those tracks that I honestly don't think anyone would have cared if it would get a Sprint Cup Series Race because the stand alone events at Nashville were always the entertaining ones. The race that landed on the easter off weekend would give fans a chance to see
drivers like Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards race at a rather cheap price than what you could drive to Bristol for. Nashville was always a fun track to go to. Not much around it to distract from what the track was and parking was available all around. As time passed less and less races became the standalone races. Milwaukee, Mansfield, IRP, also fell with Nashville as the Xfinity Series would travel more with the Cup Series and trucks would have a smaller schedule. Tracks like these and Rockingham along with North Wilkesboro are the tracks that might save the Xfinity Series. Nashville was always that hidden Easter Egg that was so hard to find and if we aren't careful Nashville will be an Easter Egg that just disappears. (Koelle,2016)
