Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the zMAX CARS Tour took to the track in Music City for 125 laps of Late Model Stock Car action at the historic Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday night and it was one of Earnhardt's cars making a daring move to take the inaugural victory. Caden Kvapil made a bold move on a late-race restart to pass Parker Eatmon for the top spot and the famous guitar trophy.
Eatmon held on for second with local hero Dylan Fetcho rounding out the podium. Conner Jones and reigning CARS Tour champion Landen Lewis completed the top five.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove deep in the field to finish 12th in his first race of the 2026 season.
Meanwhile, the Pro Late Models ran their second race of the season with Tennessee native Dawson Sutton scoring a dominating victory. Sutton also claimed the first "Flodium" bonus victory of the season for the RackleyWAR No. 62 team. Sutton beat Kaden Honeycutt and Brandon Lopez for the victory.
The complete unofficial results can be found below.
The CARS Tour will be back in action on Saturday, April 25th for a Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model doubleheader at Sophia, North Carolina's Caraway Speedway.
