The NTT IndyCar Series has announced that the 2024 season finale will not take place on the streets of Nashville
Due to construction of a new Tennessee Titans football stadium, the Music City Grand Prix will now take place at the Nashville Superspeedway, 20 miles outside of downtown, on September 15. The decision to change the venue was made in short notice due to challenges with the original street course in downtown Nashville. Big Machine Label Group Chairman Scott Borchetta stated that the new Titans Stadium construction posed significant challenges, leading to the relocation of the 2024 race. The race teams and sponsors will require proper space, which could not be accommodated in the downtown area. Although the event has moved to the superspeedway for 2024, discussions will continue with the Titans and the city for a future return to downtown Nashville. Nashville Superspeedway has a history of hosting IndyCar races and recently reopened in 2021 after a period of closure. The goal remains to eventually bring the Music City Grand Prix back to the streets of Nashville once logistical challenges are addressed.
