In 2001, it marked the first American open wheel event in the Nashville area. In later years it was held as a Saturday night race. The 2007 event was postponed until Sunday after a series of rain showers at the track.
Following the 2008 event, Indy Racing League officials decided to end their association with Nashville Superspeedway. The event was removed from the 2009 schedule, and afterwards the facility shuttered for several years. IndyCar returned to the Nashville area in 2021 with the Music City Grand Prix on a downtown street circuit. The 2024 edition of the Music City Grand Prix was moved to the Nashville Superspeedway.
