The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix (BMMCGP) and IndyCar have announced that the fourth edition of the race will be the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season finale on Sept. 13-15, 2024.

All roads will lead to Nashville as the year-long championship battle will be settled and a champion crowned on downtown Nashville’s iconic Honky-Tonk row. The 2024 season awards ceremony will also take place in the Music City, on Sept. 16 at the iconic Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

“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,” says 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.”

Along with the date change, the 2024 Music City Grand Prix will include a new 2.17-mile, seven-turn circuit will continue across the iconic Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge and route directly past the Country Music Hall of Fame. The racecourse will run through the city’s honky-tonk district. This change is partly due to the scheduled construction of the new Titans stadium starting in late 2024.

Considered one of the world’s finest venues, Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center will host the 2024 IndyCar Victory Lap Celebration on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024. Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the building boasts distinctive design elements that pay homage to history, culture and people of Middle Tennessee.

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix continues to grow to levels that I never dreamed could have been possible.”

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix has become one of Tennessee’s marquee events, bringing fans from all 50 states and dozens of countries annually. The race has had a global TV audience in over 200 countries and territories.
