NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 4, 2025) – Tickets go on sale today for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone 2025 season finale weekend at Nashville Superspeedway and the August 30-31 event will also feature a bold new name beginning this year.
Previously known as the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix – an event that has electrified Nashville and thrilled INDYCAR fans for the past four years – the Labor Day Weekend celebration will become the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix in 2025 and into the future. The new branding aligns the event with one of Tennessee’s fastest-rising premium spirits and further solidifies the Borchetta name’s deep roots in American racing culture.
The Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix will once again serve as the final race for both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone and the 2025 champions will be crowned for both series at the fast 1.5-mile oval at Nashville Superspeedway. The high-speed racing and close competition create an ideal venue for the dramatic season-ending event in the heart of Tennessee.

Borchetta Bourbon was first introduced in 2021 by Big Machine Distillery, timed to coincide with the inaugural 2021 Big Machine Grand Prix. Proprietor and entrepreneur Scott Borchetta, who played a crucial role in bringing INDYCAR back to Nashville, aimed to create a connection between Indianapolis and Nashville – one that was fortified by the discovery of a 1911 IndyCar race at the Nashville Fairgrounds, which is the first year that the Indy 500 was held. The limited-edition, cask-strength, single-barrel bourbon was designed to honor Nashville’s early motorsports history, with its label showcasing a photo of the Nashville starting lineup and a bronze replica of the Marmon Wasp, the winning car from the first 500-mile race.
“We’re doubling down on everything that makes this race weekend iconic – fast cars, bold flavors, and unforgettable music,” said Scott Borchetta, founder of Big Machine and Borchetta Bourbon. “It’s only fitting that the name of the race reflects the passion and innovation we bring to both racing and bourbon. The Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix will be the most exciting finale in motorsports, as we crown the series champions in our hometown.”
The new name of the Nashville championship weekend also strengthens the collaboration between Big Machine and INDYCAR as the sport’s footprint continues to grow in new markets and with new fans.
“Big Machine has been a powerful partner in helping us build this event into a Nashville tradition,” said Anne Fischgrund, President of the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix. “The new name of the event reflects the spirit of the city and the evolution of this special championship weekend. We are proud to carry this energy into the season finale with our partners at Big Machine, INDYCAR and the Nashville Superspeedway.”
The 2025 Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix weekend will begin with Big Machine 20: a massive downtown party on Broadway in Nashville celebrating two decades of chart-topping success and cultural impact since the inception of Big Machine Label Group. The multi-artist concert will also serve as the fifth annual Freedom Friday, a special evening honoring members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes.
