The Nashville Superspeedway will now host the NTT IndyCar Season finale with the race moving from the Streets of Nashville to the 1.33-mile superspeedway.

The planned race was set for a new street circuit through downtown Nashville, having raced on a 2.170-mile circuit encompassing the Nissan Stadium.

Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Vodka remains the race’s entitlement sponsor, along with assuming a leadership role in the event. Borchetta noted the move is rooted in logistical and construction challenges around the Nissan Titans stadium, where a portion of the street circuit was laid out.

“With construction set to begin for the new Titans Stadium, the Grand Prix operations team knew they’d be faced with new challenges, knowing that the course used for the first three years would have to change dramatically for 2024’s race,” Borchetta said. “With several key locations around the stadium not available as in years past, and with the proposed course change to run through the streets of downtown Nashville (a big loop that utilizes the Korean Vets Memorial Bridge, First Avenue, Broadway, Fourth Avenue, and Korean Vets Blvd.) we simply don’t have the proper space needed by the race teams nor the proper access for downtown businesses and residences to execute the world-class event that is expected by our amazing fans, IndyCar teams and sponsors. 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.”

IndyCar raced at the 1.33-mile oval in Lebanon, Tennessee from 2001-08, with Scott Dixon claiming the final three races from 2006-08. The venue becomes the first oval to host the IndyCar season finale since the California Speedway in 2014. It also increases IndyCar’s oval race count to seven, the highest since 2013.

“We are excited to welcome the Music City Grand Prix to Nashville Superspeedway,” said Nashville Superspeedway general manager Matt Greci. “Our track has a strong history of hosting premier racing events, and we’re eager to showcase our facility’s versatility by adding this prestigious event to our calendar. With our infrastructure and experienced team, we are fully equipped to help deliver an exceptional experience for fans, drivers and stakeholders alike. The Music City Grand Prix represents an exciting new chapter for Nashville Superspeedway, and we’re ready to make it a memorable success.”
