Infield concerts featuring well-known country music acts will precede back-to-back races at both Daytona and Kentucky.

Country music star Tyler Farr will perform a pre-race concert before the 59th Coke Zero 400 on July 1 at Daytona International Speedway.

The concert will mark Farr’s second performance at the world’s only motorsports stadium – the first coming in last year’s inaugural Country 500, a three-day music festival over Memorial Day weekend.

Farr’s debut album, Redneck Crazy, shot to No. 2 on the Billboard Country Album Chart upon its release, and spawned two No. 1 hits: Whiskey In My Water and the title track.

Farr will open for Brantley Gilbert during the upcoming “The Devil Don’t Sleep” Tour.
