IndyCar moves from Nashville streets to nearby superspeedway for season finale amid NFL construction

IndyCar will move its season-ending championship finale in September from the streets of downtown Nashville to the superspeedway in Lebanon nearly 40 miles away because of construction surrounding the Tennessee Titans’ new stadium.

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix has been a smashing success racing down lower Broadway and using a bridge as part of a tricky track layout.

Big Machine Label Group chairman and founder Scott Borchetta said Wednesday he started overseeing the Sept. 15 race in December and spent several weeks reviewing plans before determining the event had to be moved.

“I have some fond memories of Nashville Superspeedway. The racing was always intense and strategy was always key,” Dixon said. “Add the fact that it’s now hosting the season finale and I have no doubt it will make for a fantastic show. While we’ll miss being on the streets of Nashville in 2024, I look forward to returning to a place that has been special to my career.”
