Big Machine Wins Grand Prix
“I’ve worked for decades bringing racing and music together and I can’t think of a better way to welcome the IndyCars back to Nashville than honoring them with our namesake,” said Scott Borchetta, Pres. & CEO of Big Machine, the parent company of the Big Machine Label Group, Big Machine Distillery and Big Machine Racing. “My very first race was an IndyCar race, The California 500, and this brings it full-circle. I truly believe that we’ve created the most exciting new weekend in racing anywhere in the world and Nashville is going to roll out the red carpet. This will be a party you don’t want to miss.”
The official VIP media event was held Monday on the rooftop of the Four Seasons Private Residences Nashville (yes, the race car was craned up onto the roof), and was emceed by Country radio personality Shawn Parr, host of Key Networks’ nationally syndicated weekday show, Shawn Parr’s Across the Country.
