2021 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix
The 2021 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix was an IndyCar motor race held on August 8, 2021 at the Nashville Street Circuit in Nashville, Tennessee. It was the eleventh round of the 2021 IndyCar Series and the ninth edition of the Music City Grand Prix (following changes made in 2024), the first on the street circuit.
The race lasted for 80 laps and was won by Marcus Ericsson of Chip Ganassi Racing, scoring his second win of the season.
In September 2020, IndyCar announced that the series will add a street race in downtown Nashville, Tennessee for the 2021 season.
The inaugural event was held on the weekend of August 6-8, 2021 at the newly created Nashville Street Circuit. It was the eleventh race of the 2021 season, marking the conclusion of the midseason summer break, which started following the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. During the race weekend, the GT America series, the Trans-Am Series TA2 class, and the Stadium Super Trucks also competed as support series for the race.
This was the first of the two Big Machine-sponsored races in the 2021 season, the other being the following race, the Big Machine Spiked Coolers Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Chip Ganassi Racing's Álex Palou retained his lead in the driver's standings following his third-result at Mid-Ohio, over Pato O'Ward of Arrow McLaren SP and teammate Scott Dixon in second and third respectively. Mid-Ohio race winner Josef Newgarden of Team Penske remained fourth, while Ganassi driver Marcus Ericsson moved up to fifth, thanks to his second-place finish at the previous race.
Honda extended their lead over Chevrolet to 73 points after four Honda drivers finished in the top five at Mid-Ohio.
Practice 1 took place at 4:10 PM ET on August 6, 2021. The session was interrupted 22 minutes in by an accident involving Pato O'Ward, who clipped the wall in Turn 3 and crashed into the barrier on the opposite side. O'Ward was able to leave his damaged car uninjured. Another incident involving Conor Daly occurred towards the end of the session, as his car slid into the tire barrier after exiting the bridge section. Daly climbed out of his damaged car unharmed. Colton Herta topped the first ever practice session held at the Streets of Nashville with a time of 01:16.5875, besting Scott Dixon and rookie Romain Grosjean in second and third.
