Putting the band back together, so to speak, and having some fun. Nashville is a cool racetrack that has meant a lot to me over the years. Separate from that, it’s about the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. That’s a really fun series. It’s a fun vehicle to drive. There’s a lot of drag and you can drive them hard and get away with it. You can really hustle a truck. This race should be right in my wheelhouse.
Clint Bowyer said via Spire Motorsports’ press-release.

My career in NASCAR happened because of Nashville. My first race win in NASCAR was at Nashville. It takes me back to my first ARCA race in 2003. I’ve always raced well there. Not to put pressure on myself, but I have. I’ve never finished outside the top five at Nashville Superspeedway, and I think I’ve got close to a second-place average finish.

The veteran would be hoping to experience the NASCAR thrill inside the race car he has been missing for the last four years. Since the outing is with Spire Motorsports, he has the genuine shot at winning the race and the NASCAR community is looking forward for the return.
