Billy Ballew Motorsports has five starts at the 1.5-mile concrete speedway. Ballew’s best finish was 11th posted by Shane Hmiel in 2004. Nashville is known as a track that can be difficult to master but a fan favorite for the great racing. The 1.5 -mile concrete track has been known to be challenging to the most veteran of drivers in the Craftsman Truck Series. “The concrete can be real tough on tires,” Sieg said. “Grip is often more important than speed. This concrete track doesn’t give a lot of grip, it is pretty bumpy. I know though that Richie (Wauters) and this Miccosukee Resort team have put together a fast Toyota Tundra for us this weekend. I would love to have a top-5 finish or maybe even a win.” Drivers look forward to victory lane at the Nashville Superspeedway to receive a win trophy like no other.
