LEBANON – For the third time in four years the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway has sold out.
Capacity for the race is 38,000. Officials announced the sellout during the second stage of Sunday’s race after a rain delay.
The 2023 race sold out a week in advance along with the inaugural race in 2021, which was the first NASCAR Cup race in the Nashville area in 37 years.
Nashville Superspeedway has 25,000 permanent seats. Temporary grandstands are brought in each year for the NASCAR tripleheader weekend to expand the capacity to 38,000.
Officials also announced tickets were sold in all 50 states and 19 countries.
“Today’s sellout for the Ally 400 is another testament to our incredible fans and continues to confirm our position as one of Nashville’s top sports and entertainment destinations,” said Matt Greci, general manager of Nashville Superspeedway. “Their excitement and passion for NASCAR racing helps create such a positive buzz surrounding this event.”
The only year the race failed to sell out (2022) attendance was slightly over 30,000.
The range for ticket prices for this year’s race was from $90-$175 for adults. Kids 12-under were free.
Nashville Superspeedway opened in 2001 without a NASCAR Cup race. It closed in 2011 after attendances for NASCAR Xfinity, truck series and IndyCar races steadily declined.
The Superspeedway will also host the IndyCar Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on Sept. 13-15. That race was moved from downtown after it was determined it could not be held in downtown Nashville because of construction for the new Tennessee Titans stadium.
