The Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee has hosted American open-wheel car racing racing events dating back to 2001. The 2001 event marked the first American open-wheel event in the Nashville area. During some years events were held on Saturday nights. The 2007 event was postponed until Sunday after a series of rain showers at the track.
Following the 2008 event, Indy Racing League officials decided to end their association with Nashville Superspeedway. The event was removed from the 2009 schedule, and afterwards the facility shuttered for several years. Subsequently renamed as the IndyCar Series, the series returned to the Nashville area in 2021 with the Music City Grand Prix on a downtown street circuit. Due to construction downtown, the 2024 Music City Grand Prix was moved to the Nashville Superspeedway.
Past winners
As is a Nashville-area racing tradition, from 2001 through 2008 the winner received a hand-made and painted Gibson Les Paul guitar.
