OK Race fans it’s almost time for NASCAR to start and Little Big Town will kick off the season with pre and post-race concerts as well as performing the National Anthem for the 34th annual Budweiser Shootout on Saturday, Feb. 18 at Daytona International Speedway.
The band will perform three songs prior to the non-points event on the pre-race stage located on pit road which will be carried live on FOX Sports. After the checkered flag waves on the 75-lap race, the group will perform a 60-minute post-race concert from the Sprint FANZONE Main Entertainment Stage.
“Our fans can expect some hard racing, loud music and an unforgettable night as the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series kick off the 2012 racing season at the ‘World Center of Racing.’ ”
In addition to their Budweiser Shootout pre and post-race concerts and National Anthem, a special $84 ticket package designed around the Little Big Town has been created that includes a Budweiser Shootout ticket, Sprint FANZONE/Pre-Race access and VIP area access to the Little Big Town pre-race performance.

The group has sold over 1.5 million records, placed 12 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, earned four Grammy Nominations and was honored with an Academy of Country Music award for Top New Vocal Duet/Group.

You guys have started my race season out on a “perfect note”. It can’t do anything but get better from here. That anthem was one of the best I have heard and I have been watching and going to races since 1955. I have to admit I had not heard of your group until tonight but I will be listening to you from now on.
Thank you for a great performance.
