Random lmages from the 2026 Nashville Speedway
Cracker Barrel 400

The Circus that is NASCAR arrived at Nashville for the 2026 Cracker Barrel 400. Rain also arrived at the same time, but it did not put a damper on the crowd, the racers, or the cars. After 4+ days in the infield and garage area, I was beyond tired. I don’t know how these pit crews and drivers do this week in and week out.
I am offering up a few of my unstaged photos from all 4 days. Not only was I there to have fun and enjoy the festivities, but our 1969 Ford Talladega was invited to participate as a factory street version of the vintage race car. In this crowd, there was no shortage of enthusiasts who knew exactly what it was. There were those younger folks who had never seen a Talladega in person before!
Here is a small portion of my photo collection from the weekend. Excuse me if there is a preference for the Wood Brothers or Penske and their respective Fords.




































































Come back, there are more images to come.
