2/14/24

BMLG Chairman/CEO Scott Borchetta has taken a new leadership role for the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, overseeing operations for Nashville’s annual NTT IndyCar Series race.

After weeks of reviewing, Borchetta has announced to move the 9/15 season finale from the downtown streets to Nashville Superspeedway amid NFL construction.

 “With the significant challenges of the proposed new layout and unknowns with the new stadium construction, which has been the center of operations for the first three years of the Grand Prix, the decision has been made to move the 2024 race to the Nashville Superspeedway,” said Borchetta.

“This has no bearing on our great relationship with the Tennessee Titans. The team’s management has been nothing but supportive regarding the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix and we fully intend to continue conversations with them and the city of Nashville as to when the right time will be to return to the streets of Nashville,” he added. 

'The Music City Grand Prix has been more than a race. It's a festival that celebrates both Nashville and racing. We appreciate Scott Borchetta and Big Machine's vision and partnership and look forward to the race returning to downtown Nashville in the future,” stated Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell.

“Nashville Superspeedway is ideally suited to our highly competitive and extremely intense style of racing, and we look forward to adding a Speedway Motorsports track to our schedule,” said Penske Entertainment President/CEOMark Miles.

INDY NXT by Firestone, the developmental series for the NTT IndyCar Series, will also shift their 2024 championship finale to Nashville Superspeedway.

More details on weekend festivities, schedule and ticket options are to be announced. The IndyCar Series season finale takes place 9/15 on NBC.
