For those of you who are Nashville Nationals regulars, expect the same event features you’ve become accustomed to with additional bonuses that this new venue will offer. The biggest being a Saturday night track cruise where all show car participants will be able to take their ride for a couple laps around the Nashville Superspeedway 1.33 mile, 14-degree banked D-shaped oval.
But before the weekend kicks off, enjoy a Thursday kick off party at Charlies Custom Creations and Machine in Murfreesboro, TN. Check out the facility from 5:30-8pm on May 12th with a shop tour, live DJ spinnin’ tunes, and food trucks providing some good grub.
You CPP AutoCross Series racers are also in for a treat as the course layout will be drastically different then any other Goodguys AutoCross course you’ve seen. The layout will be more of a road course track with a section popping you up on the Nashville Superspeedway oval! The on-track action will heat up Saturday evening with the Team Witt “Music City Mayhem” shootout.
There will also be a special gathering of vehicles sold & bought on www.bringatrailer.com.

Last but certainly not least is the crowning of the 2022 Tanks, Inc. Hot Rod of the Year!
