INDIANAPOLIS Penske Entertainment Corp. and Big Machines Scott Borchetta jointly announced an updated event structure for the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix with Penske Entertainment assuming responsibility for the promotion of the race weekend at Nashville Superspeedway.

Big Machine will remain the events entitlement partner, continuing to enhance the events connectivity to the entertainment industry and downtown Nashville.

Penske Entertainment executive Anne Fischgrund has been named president of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix.

Big Machine served as the original entitlement partner for the event across its first three editions and stepped up in an additional promoter capacity as the race weekend transitioned to Nashville Superspeedway last year. Moving forward, its continued involvement as entitlement partner will be an asset for exciting musical programming and to showcase the brands artists, products and community endeavors. All things Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta also will serve as a liaison to Nashvilles entertainment community and civic leaders, keeping the event fully connected to the Music City.

Following a successful debut at famed Nashville Superspeedway this past season, the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix will continue as the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series finale, taking place Sunday, Aug. 31 with a national network showcase on FOX. The 2025 Indy NXT by Firestone finale will precede the NTT IndyCar Series championship race that day.

Year one at Nashville Superspeedway was a tremendous success, thanks in great part to the terrific partnership and strong leadership exhibited by Scott Borchetta and his team at Big Machine, said Penske Entertainment Corp. President and CEO Mark Miles. As we grow our event portfolio at Penske Entertainment, its strategically important to take the reins of our season finale at such an exciting and renowned racetrack. And to see the relationship with Big Machine carry forward through this continued partnership only underscores the growth opportunities before us in the Music City.

A thrilling 2024 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix championship finale produced the best IndyCar Series numbers on record at Nashville Superspeedway, including the most on-track passes, passes for position, passes in the top 10 and passes in the top five. Colton Herta picked up his first win on an oval while Alex Palou celebrated his third NTT IndyCar Series championship.

The event also was highlighted by a street festival alongside Nashvilles iconic honky-tonks, including the Battle on Broadway Pit Stop Challenge, to begin championship weekend.

We are very proud to continue our relationship with IndyCar and build from our record-breaking 2024 season finale as the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix becomes a true crown jewel for Nashville, Middle Tennessee and global motorsports fans, Borchetta said. We will also continue to produce the incredibly successful downtown street party, which will serve as the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix kickoff event, on Friday, Aug. 29, so make plans to be with us.
