Nashville Superspeedway and hospitality partner Sodexo Live! have committed to revving up the ultimate fan experience at this year’s Nashville race weekend taking place June 24–26. It starts on Friday the 24th with the Rackley Roofing 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, followed by the Tennessee Lottery 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday and ending with the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday. The largest concrete-only track in NASCAR, Nashville Superspeedway is ready to give fans an enhanced and expanded food and beverage experience courtesy of Sodexo Live!, which actually debuted as the venue’s hospitality partner last year but was constrained from making a bigger splash due to COVID.

This year, however, the company is pulling out the stops, including a new signature sandwich called The NashCar Burnout that incorporates Sodexo Live! Executive Chef Jerry Infantino’s twist on the city’s famous Nashville Hot Chicken dish. Also, 60 new points-of-sale have been added around the venue to not only expand food & beverage purchasing outposts, but to also increase the speed at which transactions are made. Additional refrigeration trailers and storage containers have also been secured to ensure beverages stay cold and are served at the optimal temperature. 

In addition, the Nashville Superspeedway and Sodexo Live! are offering food and drinks at an affordable price, including 20-oz. waters for $4 and Busch Light beer for $5. Nashville Superspeedway says it is the only professional sports venue in Nashville to offer water or beer at such affordable, family-friendly price points for fans. 

Food and beverage options from popular local hotspots including Prince’s Hot Chicken, Hattie B’s, Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey will also be available.
