A strong performance — or a breakthrough win — in Saturday night’s contest could be a pivotal moment in their postseason pursuit.

The Tennessee Lottery 250 is part of a loaded tripleheader weekend at Nashville Superspeedway.

The action kicks off Friday, May 30, as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is set to deliver its trademark intensity under the neon glow in Lebanon, Tenn., just a short drive from the heart of Broadway’s legendary live music scene.

The excitement amps up like a country chorus on Saturday night with the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Tennessee Lottery 250, a 188-lap showdown that promises edge-of-your-seat action and plenty of local pride.

Then on Sunday, June 1, the weekend hits a high note with the NASCAR Cup Series’ Cracker Barrel 400, officially kicking off the second leg of the regular season — and giving fans one more reason to sing about speed in the South.

● Charlotte Motor Speedway | BetMGM 300 Recap: Back in action after a much-needed two-week break, the NASCAR Xfinity Series roared back to life with a hometown throwdown at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway — setting the stage for the crucial upcoming summer swing.

The No. 42 Young’s Motorsports team came in looking to keep the beat of recent momentum alive, building on a four-race stretch of top-15 finishes. With new marketing partner Hypersteel™ Buildings riding along, the group showed early speed in practice and clocked in 17th during qualifying.

From the drop of the green flag, Alfredo and the team hit their rhythm early, running solidly inside the top 15 for much of the afternoon. However, a mechanical hiccup in Stage 3 disrupted their groove and knocked the team out of contention.

Still, Alfredo and the crew showed tremendous grit, battling through a string of late-race cautions to bring home a 26th-place finish at the checkered flag.

With 13 races now in the book, the No. 42 team remains committed to tuning up their performance heading into the critical summer stretch.

● Calling the Shots: Guiding Alfredo as crew chief of the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro is longtime crew chief Andrew Abbott. 

On Saturday, he will be crew chief in his 144th NASCAR Xfinity Series race. In his previous 143 races, he has four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.  

The season's 14th race will be his third tango at Nashville Superspeedway as crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
