The NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway was halted by inclement weather, resulting in a temporary red flag on Lap 136 of the Ally 400. A lightning delay and subsequent rain disrupted the race on the 1.33-mile concrete oval in Lebanon, Tennessee. At the time of the delay, Christopher Bell was leading the race, with Tyler Reddick, Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski, and Chase Elliott following closely behind.
The top 10 also included Denny Hamlin, Chris Buescher, William Byron, Martin Truex Jr., and Carson Hocevar. The race had seen two previous caution periods before the weather delay. John Hunter Nemechek spun at Lap 116 to cause the second caution period, while Ty Gibbs spun 10 laps later to trigger a third yellow flag.
The red flag was lifted around 6:40 p.m. ET, and green-flag racing resumed at the completion of Lap 140. Live coverage of the race continued on NBC, NBC Sports App, PRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
