The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix has added 12x Grammy-award winner CeCe Winans to the inaugural weekend as she offers a non-denominational worship service at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 8 before the highly anticipated IndyCar race.

Winans, the best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, will be joined on Sunday by the Nashville Life Church choir, and joins an already long list of musical talent for the three-day weekend of racing and music.

Drew Green will kick things off on Friday, Aug. 6 as he performs on the main stage. Meanwhile, Brooks & Dunn are set to headline the Wesley Financial Group Freedom Friday concert with special guests Jamey Johnson, Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil, Tyler Farr, and more. As recently announced, Saturday night’s show will be headlined by award-winning singer Jon Pardi with Tim Dugger as support. Finally, Sunday’s post-race show will feature legendary country-singer and racing fan Alan Jackson with performances from Justin Moore, Riley Green, Danielle Bradbery and Callista Clark.

The grand prix will kick off the second half of the 2021 NTT IndyCar season. The buildout of the 2.17-mile track layout in downtown Nashville will begin Sunday, July 11. The crews will work from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. for 18 consecutive days to complete the build, which includes installing 2,000 barriers and fence panels in 12-foot sections along the course. Street closures will not begin until 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5.
