With the Sprint Cup Series off for the Easter weekend, the Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide Series head to Nashville Superspeedway for a standalone weekend.

Nashville is one of three concrete tracks on the NASCAR circuit (the other two are Bristol and Dover). The 1.333-mile D-shaped oval has 14-degree banking in the turns, 9 degrees on the frontstretch and 6 degrees on the backstretch. The race winner gets a guitar, which Kyle Busch famously smashed to pieces after his 2009 win.

Busch didn't smash the guitar when he won the spring truck race here a year ago, and after this weekend he could add yet another to his collection. He has won four of the last 7 Nationwide races and one truck win in three starts this season.

But the weekend also presents the Nationwide Series with an opportunity for a series regular to win his first race of the season. With no Cup race this week, there are fewer Cup drivers in the field, but the few who are could be enough to lock out the Nationwide regulars once again.

Here last year's winners at Nashville:

NATIONWIDE
Spring: Kevin Harvick
Fall: Brad Keselowski

TRUCK SERIES
Spring: Kyle Busch
Fall: Todd Bodine
