Indy NXT - Nashville

The Indy NXT by Firestone race at Nashville Superspeedway brings professional development series racing to Tennessee. This 2025 event features 65 laps of competitive racing across the 1.33-mile concrete tri-oval track located in Lebanon, just 30 miles from downtown Nashville.

Nashville Superspeedway offers fans a unique racing experience with its concrete surface – one of only three such tracks in major American motorsports. The track includes 14-degree banking in the turns, creating fast-paced action as drivers push their Dallara IL-15 chassis to speeds approaching 200 mph.

The Indy NXT series serves as the final step before the NTT IndyCar Series, showcasing talented drivers from around the world. Competitors use identical cars powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged engines producing 450 horsepower, with an additional 50 horsepower available through push-to-pass activation.

Nashville's racing history adds significance to this event. The Superspeedway hosted IndyCar races from 2001 to 2008 before taking a break from major competition. The return of open-wheel racing to Nashville Superspeedway continues a proud tradition at this Tennessee venue.

Fans attending the Nashville indylights race can enjoy the 25,000-seat facility with clear views of the entire track. The concrete oval creates distinct racing conditions that challenge drivers and teams to adapt their setups throughout the weekend.

This event marks part of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix weekend, which includes the NTT IndyCar Series championship race. The Indy NXT race provides fans with a chance to see the future stars of American open-wheel racing as they develop their skills at Nashville Superspeedway.
