Memphis Motorsports Park has only hosted 10 Nationwide Series event in its history. The track hasn't exactly had time to establish many records. Kevin Harvick is the only driver with multiple wins at the track. Jeff Green set the track record in qualifying during the inaugural event and went on to win the track opener as well.
Four drivers are tied for the most top fives in track history, but of those four, only Carl Edwards is entered in this weekend's race. Edwards is also the defending winner of this event. A repeat performance would make the Edwards just the second two-time winner at Memphis and the first driver to win back-to-back races.
