Nashville Superspeedway is a 1.33-mile (2.14 km) D-shaped oval located in Lebanon, Tennessee. First opened in 2001, it was built with a concrete surface that provides a unique driving feel compared to traditional asphalt ovals. After years of dormancy, the track reopened in 2021, and iRacing updated its version accordingly.

Driving Tips
- Brake Usage: Unlike other mid-length ovals, Nashville requires drivers to brake heavily into the corners. Smooth entries preserve tires.
- Tire Wear: The concrete surface creates a different wear pattern, often punishing the right front tire if overdriven.
- Passing Zones: The bottom line works best for overtakes, though momentum on the outside can defend well.
- Rhythm & Patience: Nashville races like a blend of Richmond and an intermediate oval — finding rhythm is critical.
Nashville in iRacing offers a unique flavor of racing. It rewards technical driving and discipline more than flat-out aggression.
