Big Machine, owned by Scott Borchetta, will continue as the event's title sponsor. Borchetta's extensive Nashville connections will help maintain the event's strong ties to the city, despite the race taking place in nearby Lebanon, Tennessee. The downtown street party tradition will continue as the kickoff event on Friday, August 29.
Mark Miles, Penske Entertainment President and CEO, emphasized the strategic importance of managing their season finale at Nashville Superspeedway, building on the successful partnership with Big Machine in 2024.
This move expands Penske Entertainment's portfolio of promoted events, which now includes:
- Long Beach Grand Prix

- Grand Prix of Indianapolis
- Indianapolis 500
- Detroit GP
- Iowa
- Milwaukee
- Nashville Superspeedway
"We are very proud to continue our relationship with IndyCar and build from our record-breaking 2024 season finale," said Borchetta, highlighting the event's growing significance in global motorsports.
