Tim McGraw is the headlining performer at this weekend’s Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in Nashville, and although he’ll be on stage, he would love the chance to get up close and personal with one of the IndyCars that will be racing through the streets of Nashville on Sunday (8/7).

“I’ve driven NASCAR before, which was so exhilarating that you’re shaking when you get out of it. You’re so fired up. And I’m sort of an adrenaline junkie, so I’m hoping they’ll let me get in one of those cars. I doubt they’ll let me do that. All of my people are looking at me saying no, no, no, because they know I want to. But I’m gonna try my best to get behind the wheel of one. My biggest fear would be to crash it. I wouldn’t want to go mess up somebody’s car. I don’t want to do that, because I know I’ll push it. But I look forward to performing for sure. Nashville is great at putting on these big events, and I’ve been a part of a few of ‘em. But I really look forward to just feeling the energy of those cars running through the streets.”

Other performers at this weekend’s Big Machine Music City Grand Prix include Carly Pearce, Brantley Gilbert, Midland, Jackson Dean and Callista Clark.  You can learn more about the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix at MusicCityGP.com.
