The NASCAR Cup Series continues on Saturday with a trek to Tennessee for an under-the-lights bout at “The Last Great Colosseum” in Bristol Motor Speedway (7:30 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
This year’s Chase presented by Mobil 1 continues at the iconic venue, with the Bass Pro Shops Night Race the third of 10 postseason battles. The contest is also the 29th points-paying event of the 2026 season. Christopher Bell is the defending winner.
Kyle Larson, who snapped a 51-race winless streak thanks to his World Wide Technology at Raceway victory in the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, enters Bristol on a momentum swing, gaining five spots in The Chase table and sitting only nine points behind points leader Denny Hamlin. In seven Bristol concrete races in the Next Gen era, the 2025 Cup Series champion has two wins and six top-five finishes.
Thirty-seven cars are entered into this weekend’s Chase bout.
