Notes: Nashville Winner Can Rock Out with Unique Trophy
INDYCAR While there's no doubt the Borg-Warner Trophy awarded to the winner of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge is one of the most beautiful awards in global sport, the winner of the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by WillScot also will take home a unique prize. NTT INDYCAR SERIES star Colton Herta helped to unveil July 31 the latest design of the winner's trophy for the race Sunday, Aug. 31 at Nashville Superspeedway – a custom-made Gibson electric guitar. Andretti Global w/ Curb-Agajanian driver Herta won last year's race on the 1.33-mile concrete oval. Gibson, the world's most famous guitar manufacturer and a staple of Nashville's music scene for generations, created the coveted Victory Lane hardware. Herta, Big Machine Label Group and Borchetta Bourbon Founder Scott Borchetta, Gibson Chief Financial Officer Mark Taylor and Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix President Anne Fischgrund unveiled the iconic trophy at the Gibson Garage Nashville global flagship store in downtown Nashville. The trophy unveiling marks the second consecutive year that Gibson Guitars has partnered with the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by WillScot to create the special race winner's trophy. Unlike any other stop on the INDYCAR circuit, Nashville offers a prize that is as soulful as it is symbolic in a handcrafted, custom-painted Gibson guitar that embodies the spirit of Music City and the precision of NTT INDYCAR SERIES racing. 'Gibson is honored to partner for our second year with Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by WillScot and to deliver the instantly recognizable guitar trophy to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race winner,' Taylor said. 'The skill of drivers fused with competition and engineering technology create an infectious energy on the ground that has produced some of the most passionate fans in the racing industry for this ever-growing motorsport.' The INDYCAR Championship Weekend on Aug. 30-31 at Nashville Superspeedway will feature the season finale for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone. Visit Sam's Club To Sponsor Kirkwood at Nashville Kyle Kirkwood will finish his breakthrough season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES with primary sponsorship from Sam's Club, a leading membership retail club, at the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by WillScot on Aug. 30-31 at Nashville Superspeedway.
