“We’re excited to bring together some big ideas between our team and Big Machine Music City Grand Prix to make the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale a big deal,” Brown said. “I’ve known Scott Borchetta for a long time, and he’s as passionate as I am about bringing the spotlight to INDYCAR, and I think our teams will have a lot of fun working together to make the last race of the season a can’t-miss event for fans.”
The powerful brands of Arrow McLaren & Big Machine are pairing up to amplify promotion of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale on Sept. 13-15 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Arrow McLaren will help us amplify the importance of our grand prix on a global scale, highlighting an invitation to spend the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship weekend in one of the most exciting cities in the world, Nashville, Tennessee.
