IndyCar: Nashville race to move downtown in 2024 (Update)

A press conference has been scheduled for August 3rd at 5:30pm in Nashville, where the announcement of the move of the race to downtown will be made.

IndyCar’s 2024 season-finale on the streets of Nashville will be moved to a yet-to-be-unveiled course around the Bridgestone Arena.

Officials with Penske Entertainment and the Music City Grand Prix are set to announce plans to host IndyCar’s 2024 season-finale on the streets of Nashville on a yet-to-be-unveiled course, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the series’ plans told IndyStar and The Tennessean.

IndyCar will “crown a champion on historic Lower Broadway,” those sources said.

An announcement is expected to come Aug. 3rd. We alluded to this change in our rumored 2024 IndyCar schedule.

F1 will beat IndyCar to the downtown area

On October 14, Red Bull Racing will bring a free Showrun with eight-time Grand Prix winner Daniel Ricciardo at the wheel of one of their Formula 1 cars!

The event will take place on a temporary track downtown that spans across First and Fifth Avenues from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and there’s more to come with week-of activities being announced in the coming weeks.

This is right where the new IndyCar track will be located around Bridgestone Arena
