Tim McGraw will be spending his weekend in Nashville, headlining Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in Nashville. Although he'll be on stage, he would love the chance to get up close and personal with the IndyCars racing through the streets of Nashville.

Tim told us, "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."

He added, "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."
