The race was held on Saturday, June 24, 2023, in Gladeville, Tennessee at Nashville Superspeedway, a 1.333 miles (2.145 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 188 laps, but was extended to 196 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a race that saw multiple cautions, A. J.

Allmendinger's teammate, Chandler Smith, dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 74 laps.^[1] To fill out the podium, Riley Herbst, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, and Sam Mayer, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Nashville Superspeedway is a motor racing complex located in Gladeville, Tennessee, United States, about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Nashville. The track was built in 2001 and is currently used for events, driving schools and GT Academy, a reality television competition.

It is a concrete oval track 1+1⁄3 miles (2.146 km) long. Nashville Superspeedway is owned by Speedway Motorsports, which also owns many other NASCAR tracks.
