The Cracker Barrel 400 gets underway this Sunday at 7pm ET under the lights at Nashville Superspeedway, with race coverage on Prime Video. With warm conditions and a concrete oval that punishes poor tire management, expect high attrition and unpredictable late-race drama.
Ross Chastain enters fresh off a last-to-first win at the Coca-Cola 600 and returns to one of his best tracks, having won here in 2023 and led 148 total laps across four starts. Kyle Larson starts as the betting favorite, despite a rough double-duty weekend, with four top-10s and a 4.5 average finish at Nashville. Denny Hamlin also looms large after a fast but frustrating Charlotte run and with strong stats on concrete.
The likes of William Byron and Christopher Bell bring elite speed on intermediates, while Chase Elliott continues his quiet, consistent run with a top-five average finish and a past win at Nashville. Meanwhile, Joey Logano, last year’s chaotic 5-OT winner, remains a value wildcard.

Cracker Barrel 400 betting predictions
Chastain has proved he can win from anywhere — literally. With a P1 at Nashville in 2023, top-five speed here in every start, and confidence at an all-time high, he looks primed to go back-to-back. At +1100 with the top sportsbooks, he’s exceptional value to win it.
Hamlin’s record on concrete is among the best in the series, with three wins and seven top-fives on this surface since 2022. He led at Charlotte before a fueling mishap ruined his shot — expect a bounce back and a strong push for the podium.
Elliott quietly continues to rack up consistent finishes in 2025 and has never finished outside the top 10 at Nashville when he sees the checkered flag. His win in 2022 and top-five pace in 2023 make his -125 price for a top-10 finish look like easy money.
