"Nashville Superspeedway: IndyCar's New Home for the Music City Grand Prix"

The 2024 IndyCar Big Machine Music City Grand Prix will move from downtown Nashville to the Nashville Superspeedway due to construction issues related to the Tennessee Titans' new stadium. The move is expected to be temporary, with plans to return to downtown after the stadium's completion in 2027. The race date remains set for September 15, and NBC will continue to provide coverage. The decision was made after discussions revealed challenges in racing through downtown, and the event aims to retain the characteristics of the downtown race at the new location. IndyCar CEO Mark Miles envisions a return to the Nashville streets once the new stadium is completed.
