| 2021-17 | Kyle Larson | 1st | 2023-17 | Ross Chastain | 1st |
– The only two times a driver has ran every lap in the Top 15 in a race at Nashville they have won the race, so if a driver runs every lap in the Top 15 this weekend expect them to win.

– There is no secret in terms of starting position at Nashville as being 1st is obviously best, but other than that a Top 10 starting spot is good and anywhere else is a toss up.
