PIT PASS INDY PRESENTED BY PENSKE TRUCK RENTAL – SEASON 4, EPISODE 47 – Previewing the 2024 IndyCar Series Championship Weekend with race promoter Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Label Group 

September 10, 2024 

In this championship preview edition of Pit Pass Indy presented by Penske Truck Rental, show host Bruce Martin looks ahead to the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix with Scott Borchetta, the race sponsor and the founder and CEO of Big Machine Label Group. 

In the entertainment industry, Borchetta recognized talent when he saw it, and when he heard it. In 2004, he met a young 14-year-old girl who had extraordinary talent. One year later, he started Big Machine and signed the girl to a contract in 2005 as its first client. 

It was Taylor Swift, unquestionably the world’s biggest entertainer who went on to win two GRAMMY Album of the Year Awards for Fearless in 2010 and 1989 in 2016. Although Swift would eventually leave Big Machine, the company remains one of the most successful entertainment companies in the industry. 

But Scott Borchetta is a racer at heart. 

A competitive driver behind the wheel, Borchetta owns a NASCAR Xfinity Series team and is the promoter of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix – the championship race for IndyCar. 

Martin has an exclusive interview with Borchetta for Pit Pass Indy Presented by Penske Truck Rental.
