IndyCar crowns a champion: How to watch the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix

09/08/2024 09:45 AM

IndyCar will crown a champion on Sunday, September 15th at Nashville Superspeedway, with series leader Alex Palou seeking his second consecutive championship.

Palou, who won the NTT INDYCAR SERIES title in 2021 and 2023, will start the race with a 33-point advantage over his main rival, Team Penske’s Will Power. Scott McLaughlin, 50 points behind Palou, is still mathematically eligible if Palou for some reason does not start the race.

The 2024 finale was initially set to be held on a revamped street circuit in Nashville, but due to a lack of space caused by construction on a new Titans stadium, the race was moved to Nashville Superspeedway – giving fans a thrilling season finale on an oval for the first time since 2014.

Here’s all you need to know about Sunday’s IndyCar finale:
