The NTT IndyCar Series will run the Music City Grand Prix on Monday at Nashville Superspeedway after weather forced a delay to the original schedule. The race had been set for July 19, but rain hit the track twice and pushed the event back.
IndyCar also trimmed the length of the race to 225 laps. That change comes as teams and drivers prepare to compete in what is expected to be the hottest part of the day, adding another challenge to an already unusual race weekend.
Interest is high around the Monday start time and TV schedule as fans adjust to the revised plans for Nashville. The rescheduled event keeps the focus on the Music City Grand Prix despite the weather disruption and changes to the format.
With the race now set for Monday, attention turns to how drivers handle the heat, the shortened distance and the delayed timetable at Nashville Superspeedway. The combination of weather-related postponement and daytime conditions gives this IndyCar stop a very different feel from its original setup.
