Penske Entertainment has taken over the promotion of the NTT IndyCar Series season finale at Nashville Speedway, replacing Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Music City GP promotions team. Borchetta’s team saved the event from being lost in 2024 due to local construction, striking a deal with Speedway Motorsports Inc. to host the farewell race at Nashville Superspeedway. Despite Borchetta’s efforts in organizing a successful event with major music acts and extravagant promotions, Penske Entertainment has stepped in to run the event. Borchetta will remain involved as a sponsor and will host a launch event for the race in downtown Nashville, despite the event being 30 minutes away in Lebanon, Tenn. The unexpected change reflects Penske Entertainment’s increasing control over IndyCar events, including iconic races and the potential addition of new street races in cities like Denver. While no official comments have been made by Penske Entertainment, an update from the series on the matter is expected.
