Nashville is a new track on the calendar but it’s not that unique. It’s a basic oval with a subtle difference compared to the other intermediate tracks: its surface is concrete. This race will favor the 2023 intermediate-track winners and drivers that excel on concrete.

Race Winner — Ally 400 at Nashville

Kyle Larson +500

This is a permanent recommendation. Larson isn’t as automatic as Max Verstappen in Formula 1, but he’s the most talented driver in the best car. At all of the regular oval tracks, Larson wins or is in position to win every time. Larson led 264 of 300 laps and won at Nashville in 2021. He finished fourth in 2022 after overcoming adversity. Larson got nailed with a pit penalty. He later pitted under green on lap 253 of 300. On lap 256, the caution flag came out. During this exchange, Larson cycled from the top 10 to 24th. Bad luck happens and 2022 was a very unlucky season for Larson. His 2021 championship season was the opposite (11 wins). This season has been neutral, and that’s plenty of luck when it’s the best driver in the best car.

Chase Elliott +850

This has been a trying season for Elliott. He missed several races due to an injury and he got suspended for the Gateway race. After a week off, Elliott could come out firing on all cylinders. He won the 2022 Nashville race but that was just a part of his 2022 concrete success. He won at Dover and finished second at Bristol — both are concrete tracks. The Hendrick cars are too fast and Elliott is too talented to remain winless much longer.

Denny Hamlin +850

Statistically, Hamlin has been the fastest driver this season. He only has one win to show for it, but that doesn’t mean much at this point in the season. Although half of the season is complete, the first half of the season featured a diverse collection of tracks. Multiple wins is not a great…
