Last weekend at Charlotte was difficult to say the least. It started with the devastating news of Kyle Busch’s death, then was followed by rain, rain, and more rain that ended with Daniel Suarez in victory lane. Now, we as a NASCAR community must somehow move on to Nashville and continue to heal with hopefully more racing than we saw at Charlotte. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Nashville Superspeedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Nashville.
Note: I have made the decision to keep Kyle Busch in the active part of my Active/Next Gen articles for the rest of the season as a way to honor and show just how great he was amongst his peers at so many different tracks.
