May 28, 2025
Ryan Blaney tallied his first win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday night, winning the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.
A 102-lap green-flag run to end the race saw teams employ a variety of strategies. However, it was Blaney's combination of strategy and pace that prevailed, winning by nearly three seconds over Carson Hocevar.
Denny Hamlin finished third, followed by Joey Logano and William Byron.
