MSR Pumping Up Volume with Maximum Metallica in Nashville

Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) and SiriusXM are turning up the volume for the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale with a thunderous new collaboration at the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by Willscot on Aug. 30-31 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Felix Rosenqvist will drive the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda featuring a bold “Maximum Metallica” livery — a celebration of the band’s new year-round SiriusXM channel. The special design is inspired by Metallica’s legendary 1984 album, “Ride the Lightning.”

The new channel dedicated to and curated by the iconic band, Maximum Metallica (Channel 42) will launch on SiriusXM at noon ET this Friday, Aug. 29. The channel will be available for free in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles through the month of September, giving non-subscribers a chance to experience the human-curated, premium service.*

As part of the channel’s launch celebration, Metallica will perform an exclusive live concert at Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York, sponsored by Hertz, which will premiere on the channel at noon ET Monday, Sept. 1. Metallica live at Stephen Talkhouse will rebroadcast several times and will be available on the SiriusXM app.

The Metallica-inspired livery marks the fifth creative collaboration between MSR and SiriusXM this season, and it promises to close out the year on a high note.

“We’ve had some really successful collaborations with SiriusXM this season, and they’ve truly resonated with the fans,” said MSR co-owner Mike Shank. “It’s been incredible to see the excitement around each new livery and musical tribute. Wrapping up the year with Metallica feels like the perfect encore.”

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale starts at 2 p.m. ET Sunday, Aug. 31 on FOX, FOX One, the FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network, including SiriusXM Channel 218.

*Free Listening is available on inactive satellite radios. Some older Sirius satellite and 360L radios may not be capable of receiving the free channel.
