Big Machine Records Named Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville Title Sponsor

Big Machine Records has become a title sponsor with the historic Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville for the 2014 race season. The Hunter Sand and Gravel Pro Late Model division will now compete in The Big Machine Challenge Series. As an added element for Pro Late Model drivers throughout the southeast, The Big Machine Challenge Series will pay $5000 to win.

Former three-time Super Truck Fairgrounds Champion & Big Machine Label Group President & CEO Scott Borchetta said, “The Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville is one of the most revered, competitive and trickiest tracks in all of racing. Some of the greatest stock car racers of all time called this speedway home, including Daytona 500 Winners Darrell Waltrip and Sterling Marlin. All at the Big Machine Label Group are thrilled to be able to turn up the volume for Nashville area drivers, as well as drivers throughout the southeast, to make this season one of the most competitive and most talked about anywhere in racing.”

The new series will debut Nashville’s opening race on April 5. This will mark the Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville’s 56th season of racing.

Tony Formosa, the Promoter of Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville said, “This is the greatest thing to happen at the Speedway in my three years as the Promoter. The word is already spreading like wildfire. The only issue that I have with it is that I can’t race in the series! This will definitely make the pie a lot sweeter. I can’t wait to get it started.”
