Hurricane Francine may impact the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in Nashville this weekend, with rain and thunderstorms expected from Friday to Monday. IndyCar and Indy NXT teams will need to be patient for dry windows for practice, especially since many drivers are unfamiliar with the concrete oval track. The reintroduction of primary and alternate oval tire compounds adds another layer of complexity for teams to understand before the 206-lap race. Despite the potential weather challenges, Saturday’s schedule includes four sessions with hopes of completing them all, with Sunday’s race set to start at 2:30 pm. Event organizers plan to communicate updates frequently through various social media channels to keep fans informed on any adjustments due to weather conditions.
