Hendrick Motorsports has dominated the Nashville Superspeedway, winning both the NASCAR Cup Series races on the track. Kyle Larson won the first edition of the Ally 400 in 2021 with teammate Chase Elliott following up with a thrilling victory in 2022.

When the 1.3-mile concrete oval hosted next-gen cars for the first time last year, all three manufacturers were represented by the top three finishers. Following Elliott, Kurt Busch finished second in the #45 Toyota and was followed by #12 Ford driver Ryan Blaney.

Heading into this year's Ally 400 race, Hendrick Motorsports drivers Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Chase Elliott are the favorites to win the race. Larson has the best betting odds to win the race followed by his two teammates and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, who qualified on pole last year.

Catch the drivers live in action in the Ally 400 race at 7 pm ET this Sunday.
