The 2023 Tennessee Lottery 250 was the 15th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 3rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 24, 2023, in Gladeville, Tennessee at Nashville Superspeedway, a 1.333 miles (2.145 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 188 laps, but was extended to 196 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a race that saw multiple cautions, A. J. Allmendinger, driving for Kaulig Racing, would dominate the final portions of the race, and hold off the field on the final restart to earn his 17th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season. Allmendinger's teammate, Chandler Smith, dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 74 laps.[1] To fill out the podium, Riley Herbst, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, and Sam Mayer, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
