The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to the Music City this weekend for the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. This will be the series’ fourth consecutive year in Nashville, and it’s been a good track for Chevrolet, with Ross Chastain (2023), Chase Elliott (2022) and Kyle Larson (2021) claiming wins.

On the business end of the sport, a lot has been going on this week, keeping our NASCAR experts burning that midnight oil. But they still took the time to sit down and answer our latest NASCAR questions and make some predictions for Sunday’s race and beyond — including what might happen to the Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) drivers, which drivers they’re surprised haven’t gotten a win yet, what defines a NASCAR driver “it” factor, and favorites and long shots for the Ally 400.
