The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix gets a new look and new date as it will host the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series finale.

The race debuted in 2021 with an 11-turn layout wrapping around Nissan Stadium and traversing over the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge. The new 2.17-miles layout snakes through the streets of Downtown Nashville, including Honky Tonk Row, while utilizing the bridge.

“Nashville and the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix team are ready to host a can’t-miss, action-packed event that transforms the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale and elevates it to an even higher peak on the global stage,” said Mark Miles, president & CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp.

“Next year’s race in Nashville will be an unbridled celebration of the most fierce and competitive motorsport on the planet, set against the backdrop of an innovative and breathtaking stage that includes one of the premier global entertainment districts in the world. We’ll have more to share soon on an entire weekend of activities, both on and off track, that fully taps into the growing reach and relevance of an ascendant and marquee city.”

The street circuit will replace WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca’s position as the season finale – a position its held since 2018. Rumors point to the Northern California road course shifting to a spring date.

“WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca remains a beloved, historic venue for our teams, drivers and fans in an important and scenic market,” Miles said.

Book-ending the season finale will be the 2024 INDYCAR Victory Lap Celebration at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

“The fact that INDYCAR has chosen Nashville and the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix as the crowning event is a testament to our fans, partners, stakeholders and truly the Nashville hospitality industry as a whole,” said Matt Crews, CEO, Big Machine Music City Grand Prix.

“The ability to promote our city and state year-round and bring our race into the heart of Nashville is an absolute honor. The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix continues to grow to levels that I never dreamed could have been possible.”
