Don’t wave the checkered flag just yet. Whether you opted not to drive to the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix race this weekend after its temporary relocation to Nashville Superspeedway, or you didn’t buy tickets, you’re still in the driver’s seat.
What to see
Race weekend revs up with free Freedom Friday activities. The Hy-Vee Battle on Broadway begins at 5 p.m. between 1st and 2nd avenues with an NTT IndyCar Series pit stop competition. Burnouts follow at 6 p.m. along with military activations (6:45 p.m.), a seven-artist performance headlined by Brian Kelley (7 p.m.), and Brantley Gilbert’s “Tattoos” album release party at 9:30 p.m.
Where to tune in
Championship programming takes over SiriusXM’s “Music Row Happy Hour with Buzz Brainard” on Friday, Sept. 13 from 2 to 7 p.m., followed by a special edition of “The Highway with Ania Hammar.”
