he action at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend won’t be confined just to the track as the new Guest Welcome Village also features plenty of music on the Great American Country stage.
Country music artists Eric Paslay and Matt Stillwell headline the musical guests performing at the Village on both Friday and Saturday afternoons.
“The Fish Don’t Bite” is the latest hit for Capitol Records’ Paslay, a native of Texas.

Stillwell, who is from Western North Carolina, broke into the country music scene with his single “Shine” debuting at No. 25 on iTunes country chart. He recently put the finishing touches on his upcoming sophomore album to be released nationwide in 2013 by Average Joes Entertainment.
