#SrigleyStats Sheet: Nashville Superspeedway
NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series stats from Sonoma Raceway.
Congratulations! You have officially made it through the only weekend in the NASCAR season that doesn’t have one of NASCAR’s top-three series on track somewhere across the United States.
Upon returning to competition, the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series all returned to Nashville Superspeedway for the third consecutive season.
The action was great all weekend from the Lebonan, Tennessee facility, and all three races this weekend provided a different vibe from one another, which kept things interesting all weekend long.
NASHVILLE SUPERSPEEDWAY - CAREER-BEST FINISHES:
XFINITY: #98 - Riley Herbst - P2 (Tie)
TRUCKS: #66 - Jake Drew - P12 (NCTS Debut)
TRUCKS: #20 - Nick Leitz - P19
TRUCKS: #34 - Mason Maggio - P20
TRUCKS: #30 - Jonathan Shafer - P24
JORDAN ANDERSON RACING STAYING CLOSE
Parker Retzlaff and Jeb Burton have done a masterful job keeping Jordan Anderson Racing closer to the front of the pack in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, recording a total of 24 lead-lap finishes this season for the team.
Prior to this year, the organization - which had only fielded one car - had only recorded 26 lead-lap finishes, 11 of which came last season from Myatt Snider. Both drivers have surpassed that total already this year.
NIECE MOTORSPORTS - A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS
With the success of Carson Hocevar in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, many wondered how long it would take for Niece Motorsports to have multiple trucks competing for victories on a regular basis.
It appears the team has reached that point, with Niece Motorsports putting two trucks inside the top five at Nashville. With 11 top-fives, the team has recorded more top-fives this year than in any other season.
FORD CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE AT NASHVILLE
Ford continued to struggle mightily on the intermediate tracks in the NASCAR Cup Series, with the highest-finishing driver from the manufacturer being Brad Keselowski in 11th place.
It’s the first time since Kansas in May of last season that Ford has failed to place an entry inside the top-10 in a NASCAR Cup Series event.
