Now in its third year, the Music City Grand Prix is picking up speed! (Pun intended!).

Nashville-based mega brand Big Machine was announced as the title sponsor of the race earlier this year and will play a major role in this weekend’s event (August 4-6, 2023). In addition to having Big Machine Spiked Coolers interactive displays at the track and concerts by Big Machine Label Group artists, Scott Borchetta, president and CEO of all things Big Machine, is getting in on the racing action by competing in Saturday’s Trans Am 2 feature event in the No. 48 Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers Camaro.

Running August 4 through 6, the three-day race weekend features: the NTT IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, GT America, GR Cup, the Big Machine Spiked Cooler Trans Am TA2 Series, and Stadium Super Trucks. In a race unlike any other, some of the nation’s top drivers will zoom through an 80-lap, 2.1-mile, 11-turn course that winds through Nissan Stadium, over the Cumberland River, and curves around downtown Nashville. And as fans who have attended the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in years past know, this event is the first professional motorsport race to cross a body of water making it that much more memorable.
