/in , /by

The Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation has officially been named the title sponsor of Nashville Superspeedway’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race which will be held on Saturday, June 19.

The race, now named the “Tennessee Lottery 250,” will be the second of the weekend prior to the highly anticipated Ally 500 Sprint Cup Series race at 2:30 p.m. on the following Sunday.

“We are thrilled to sponsor this fantastic Father’s Day Weekend event at the Nashville Superspeedway and engage with drivers and fans in a whole new way,” says Tennessee Lottery President and CEO Rebecca Paul Hargrove. “We want to thank NASCAR and the Superspeedway for this great opportunity. The excitement of this race and our Lottery games make this a perfect combination for fans and drivers – and dads – alike.”

The Tennessee Lottery has raised nearly $6 billion to fund education programs in the Volunteer State since its inception in 2004 with more than 1.5 million scholarships and grants awarded. Tennessee Lottery players win on average more than $3 million every day.

The “Tennessee Lottery 250” is the 22nd NASCAR Xfinity Series race in Nashville Superspeedway’s history, which dates back to 2001. The 1.3-mile concrete track hosted two NASCAR Xfinity Series races per year from 2002-2011 with winners including current NASCAR Cup Series stars Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.

“The Xfinity Series is an essential part of our track’s history and that tradition continues on Father’s Day Weekend with the Tennessee Lottery 250,” says Erik Moses, Nashville Superspeedway’s president. “The Tennessee Lottery is a difference maker to thousands of students and Tennessee families through the funding it generates for education, and we’re fortunate to have them as a race sponsor and partner this June and into the future.”

The “Tennessee Lottery 250” which starts at 2 p.m. CAT on NBCSN will be the 15th race of the 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season and the second race of Nashville Superspeedway’s Father’s Day Weekend triple-header. The first will be the “Rackley Roofing 200” NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at 7 p.m. on Friday.
