Country music superstar Dierks Bentley to perform pre-race

Country music superstar Dierks Bentley will take the stage at Homestead-Miami Speedway for an hour-long concert prior to the start of the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday, November 17. Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matthew Becherer made the announcement.

The multi-platinum and 11 time Grammy-nominated artist will headline the popular pre-race concert on the track’s frontstretch just before NASCAR’s biggest and brightest stars settle the season-long Sprint Cup Series championship.

Bentley has forged his own artistic path in an industry built predominantly on formula. He has mixed elements of modern country, classic country, bluegrass and rock, maintaining an unmistakable identity while constantly reinventing his sound. His most recent album HOME debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Album Charts and spawned three consecutive chart-topping hits, marking 10 career number one songs for Bentley as a singer and songwriter. His five previous studio albums have sold more than five million copies and earned 11 GRAMMY nominations and an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry. Bentley recently released his new single “I Hold On” off his upcoming album RISER.

Taking a break from his self-titled tour, Bentley will be sure to leave fans with the thought of “What Was I Thinkin’” if they miss out on his pre-race concert. The concert will begin at 12:30 p.m. EDT, and fans with any Sunday Ford EcoBoost 400 ticket will be able to watch the concert.

“Dierks Bentley is a dynamic performer and multi-talented musician – he will certainly deliver a thrilling performance before the start of the Ford EcoBoost 400,” said Becherer. “Race fans will receive a first-class, heart-pounding show that will serve as the perfect primer for this NASCAR series-crowning race.”
