Lynyrd Skynyrd To Perform At Coca-Cola 600 In NC
According to WBTV, Lynyrd Skynyrd will be kicking off this year’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The “Sweet Home Alabama” rockers will perform a special set ahead of the race on May 29th.
The 2006 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will perform a bevy of their Southern rock anthems free for Coca-Cola 600 ticket holders during an hour-long pre-race concert on pit road. Fans who upgrade their race ticket to a Track Access Pass will have stage-front access for the performance.
Frontman Johnny Van Zant said “This is going to be one of the coolest concerts we’ll play all year. It’s not often that you get the chance to perform before something as true-blue American as the Coca-Cola 600.”
The Lynyrd Skynyrd Coca-Cola 600 pre-race concert will come to life on pit road at approximately 4:00 p.m., mere hours before NASCAR’s best battle in the ultimate test of man and machine, the 63rd running of the Coca-Cola 600. The concert is part of a series of exciting pre-race festivities, which will also feature the nation’s largest salute to the U.S. Armed Forces and an electric driver introduction.
Country Star Chris Janson was originally scheduled to perform. No word is available for his cancellation.
