Revving Up the Fun: DNSFilter's IndyCar Experience Recap — Nashville Edition
by Alina Gordilova on Sep 18, 2024 11:20:45 AM
Our final race weekend at the Music City Grand Prix was an adrenaline-pumping experience that perfectly blended speed, technology, and unforgettable moments. It was a weekend full of thrills, camaraderie, and lightning-fast Wi-Fi in Nashville. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
Romain Grosjean's Inside View
Fans were treated to a unique perspective during the race as Romain Grosjean took to the track with an in-car camera. Also visible was the rotating halo designed in collaboration with Seamless Digital, with customizable digital display which encircled Romain during the race (including the DNSFilter logo). It was the first of its kind! This exclusive view offered a heart-racing glimpse into what it’s like behind the wheel of the No. 77 Chevrolet as Grosjean navigated the final race of the season.
Private Dinner with Racing Legends
On Saturday night, our guests had an exclusive dinner with Romain Grosjean, shortly after having a meet and greet with him earlier in the day. But if that wasn’t enough, Ricardo Juncos, former race car driver and owner of Juncos Hollinger, also joined the DNSFilter team and guests. As an additional treat, Dave O’Neill, Team Principal for Juncos Hollinger responsible for Romain’s racing strategy joined us as well. O’Neill is a former F1 Sporting Director and Team Manager, with years of experience in motorsports.
To have a special end to the season, we closed the Juncos Hollinger hospitality tent just for our guests and had an amazing catered dinner. It was the perfect opportunity for our guests to share an evening with three motorsports legends, hearing firsthand about their experiences on and off the track.
Behind-the-Scenes: Juncos Hollinger Racing Garage Tour
Our guests enjoyed an up-close-and-personal tour of the Juncos Hollinger Racing garage. Attendees got to witness the precision and expertise that goes into preparing a race car for competition, met some of the pit crew, and gained insight into the technical side of racing.
Romain Grosjean Hat Giveaway
To top it all off, we gave away exclusive Romain Grosjean hats on Sunday. These limited-edition caps were a huge hit with fans and a fun way to commemorate the event. We gave away 80 hats in under 10 minutes!
Final Race of the Season
The Music City Grand Prix marked the thrilling conclusion of the 2024 IndyCar season. With so much on the line, tensions were high, and every lap was a battle for glory. Watching the final race—while keeping tabs on Grosjean’s performance thanks to that inside-the-car view—was an experience like no other.
This race was special, but we appreciate all of the guests we were able to host this season and the amazing moments we shared together. These race weekends have been special in 2024.

Every year at DNSFilter, we like to do our best to predict the future when it comes to cybersecurity. You might know this already if you’ve read the blog by our CTO, TK Keanini, about his 2025 cybersecurity predictions. We also like to review our predictions to see how well we did overall- it’s nice to keep score.
You lock your doors at night, secure your office, and ensure sensitive information is under strict control. But what if the biggest vulnerability in your business wasn't locked away at all? For most companies, their Domain Name System (DNS) is the gateway attackers are waiting for. It's a fundamental part of the internet's infrastructure, yet it's often ignored when it comes to security. Hackers know this, and they're taking advantage.
Earlier this month I joined Mikey Pruitt, our Global Partner Evangelist, on the DNSFilter podcast dnsUNFILTERED to discuss my 2025 cybersecurity predictions. We had a lot of fun and covered all of the points I’ll outline here, but I wanted to go deeper. My 30 years of cybersecurity experience have given me a strong sense of where we’re heading as an industry—the shift to the cloud in many ways is a precursor in the adoption of AI and the future...
