Penske Entertainment has assumed the role of promoter for IndyCar's season-ending Big Machine Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway. This strategic move expands Penske's growing portfolio of race promotions across the United States.

Anne Fischgrund, former general manager of the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend at Iowa, will serve as the event's president and relocate to Nashville. Big Machine, owned by Scott Borchetta, maintains its position as the event's entitlement partner.

Mark Miles, Penske Entertainment President and CEO, emphasized the strategic importance of managing their season finale at Nashville Superspeedway, building upon the successful partnership with Big Machine in 2024.

Borchetta will leverage his extensive Nashville connections to maintain the event's local ties, despite its location in Lebanon, Tennessee. The downtown street party tradition continues as the Grand Prix kickoff event on Friday, August 29.

This acquisition follows Penske Entertainment's recent expansion, including:

• Long Beach Grand Prix acquisition (November 2024)
• New street race announcement in Arlington, Texas
• Existing promotions of:
  • Grand Prix of Indianapolis
  • Indianapolis 500
  • Detroit GP
  • Iowa
  • Milwaukee

The move strengthens Penske Entertainment's position as a leading promoter in American motorsport, while maintaining strong local partnerships and traditions in each racing venue.
