LEBANON, Tenn. – Mecum Auctions will expand into Tennessee this September with the inaugural Mecum Nashville auction, set for Sept. 23-26 at Nashville Superspeedway. The four-day event marks Mecum’s first auction at Nashville Superspeedway and establishes a significant new stop on the company’s nationwide schedule, bringing its nationally recognized collector car auction experience to the region at an unprecedented scale.
The four-day auction is projected to feature approximately 1,200 collector cars crossing the block and draw thousands of visitors to the region. The event underscores Nashville Superspeedway’s commitment to positioning Middle Tennessee as a destination for nationally recognized, large-scale events that generate significant economic impact. As part of the inaugural Nashville event, Mecum will also support Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee with a significant contribution benefiting the organization’s mission of granting life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses.
Beyond the auction block, Mecum and Nashville Superspeedway are exploring ways to activate the track and surrounding facilities to create a more immersive, festival-style automotive environment. Plans under development include interactive on-track experiences, expanded hospitality programming and curated automotive displays designed to position Mecum Nashville as a destination-style weekend experience for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
“Hosting Mecum Auctions at Nashville Superspeedway represents a perfect fusion of automotive passion and racing heritage,” said Matt Greci, general manager of Nashville Superspeedway. “This internationally acclaimed event will not only showcase incredible vehicles but also generate significant economic impact throughout Middle Tennessee, from our hotels and restaurants to local businesses. We’re proud to welcome the collector car community to our world-class facility.”
“Mecum’s expansion into the Nashville market marks an important milestone in our strategic growth,” said Sam Murtaugh, chief operating officer of Mecum Auctions. “The Superspeedway provides the scale and flexibility to deliver a premier auction while building a broader automotive event experience that attracts collectors and enthusiasts from across the country.”
Mecum Nashville will mark the company’s first major collector car auction in Tennessee and introduce a new destination on Mecum’s nationwide schedule. Bidders will be able to participate in person or remotely through Mecum’s streamlined telephone and online bidding platforms.
Additional details regarding consignment opportunities, ticket availability and event programming at Nashville Superspeedway will be announced in the near future.
