Former NASCAR champion Carl Edwards will be honored at the upcoming Ally 400 NASCAR weekend for his stellar Nashville Superspeedway record.

Edwards, who shocked the racing community by becoming an early retiree in 2016 at age 36 with 28 Cup Series victories, was named one of NASCAR’s top 75 drivers during the sanctioning body’s year-long 75th anniversary celebration. He earned that NASCAR honor with his remarkable record at Nashville Superspeedway. Throughout his career, Edwards scored five NASCAR Xfinity Series wins (July 2011, April 2011, June 2007, April 2007 and June 2006) and one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory (August 2003) at NASCAR’s largest concrete oval. In his 13 career Xfinity Series starts, he posted 12 top-10 finishes and 11 top-five showings. His lone finish outside the top 10 was 13th.

Fans attending the event on June 25 will have several opportunities to see Edwards prior to the running of the Ally 400, as he will make an appearance at the fan zone stage to be interviewed by NASCAR personality Alex Weaver. He will also make a stop by the pre-race concert stage prior to country music star Parker McCollum’s performance. Additionally, Edwards is scheduled to participate in official pre-race ceremonies, and will make a special visit to the Green Room Lounge, one of Nashville Superspeedway’s newly created VIP and premium experiences.
