This summer NASCAR, Speedway Motorsports, and Anheuser-Busch are teaming up to offer race fans a little something extra at a few of the race tracks. Five races this summer will also include a concert. Previously, NASCAR announced that the Zac Brown Band would be performing at one of those concerts.
On March 12 NASCAR has announced two more artists that will be performing at one of the Busch Light Summer Concert Series shows.
Country music artist and hit songwriter Ernest will open up the series at Texas Motor Speedway and award winning performer Nate Smith will perform at Michigan International Speedway.
As was previously announced, the Zac Brown Band will be a part of the Independence Day weekend festivities for the Chicago Street Race.
NASCAR executive vice president and chief partnership and licensing officer Michelle Byron spoke on the Series saying, “as part of our renewed partnership with Busch Light, they’re putting a premium on finding fresh new ways to drive deeper fan engagement and enhance the entertainment and experience at the track, and the Summer Music Series does just that. It will be NASCAR, Busch Light and some of the biggest names in country music throughout the weekend in Texas, Michigan and Chicago. I can’t think of a better combination for the best fans in all of sports.”
Ernest has collaborated with numerous fellow Country music stars including Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, and Hardy. He will be at Texas Motor Speedway on May 4.
Nate Smith will entertain race fans at the Firekeepers Casin 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 8.
Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch Head of Marketing Krystyn Stowe spoke on the music series saying, “Busch Light knows our Texas and Michigan fans also share a deep passion for racing, so bringing unforgettable experiences to these iconic tracks is a no-brainer. With NASCAR, we’re shifting fan engagement into high gear, uniting two of race fans’ greatest passions: country music and cold, smooth Busch Light.”
Performers for the races at Iowa Speedway on August 3 and World Wide Technology Raceway on September 7 will be announced at a later date.
