Nashville street race will be the 2024 IndyCar season finale.
The Nashville Grand Prix is an early success for IndyCar, packing big crowds into the center of a growing city in both races held since the event was founded in 2021. Now, the race is stepping up to a much bigger role: IndyCar announced Thursday that Nashville would be the season finale and assumed championship-deciding race in 2024.
Actual races run at Nashville have received more mixed reviews than the event itself. An overly tight track with odd-flowing corners has produced its share of crashes, including one that sent the front half of eventual race-winner Marcus Ericsson's car into the air in the inaugural event. A newly announced reconfiguration will hope to fix that next year.
While it is at least different, the new layout is no more traditional than what IndyCar runs now. As an event, the series will benefit from the opportunity to showcase itself in an event that can take over an entertainment-focused city like Nashville. As a race track, the new layout looks like just as much of a recipe for chaos as the outgoing one IndyCar will race on this weekend.
