“To have this level of talent with an artist such as Miranda Lambert performing our pre-race concert adds an incredible amount of energy for the 68th running of the Daytona 500,” Frank Kelleher, Daytona International Speedway President, said in a press release. “Her powerhouse vocals and passion for music are the perfect mix to represent the prestige of this event.”
Kelleher added, “Get ready for the thunder of country music before we wave the green flag and engines roar to kick off the 2026 season!”
Tickets are on sale now. Those who can’t attend in person can watch the action on Feb. 15 at 2:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
Miranda Lambert’s Year Ahead
The NASCAR kick off isn’t the only thing on Lambert’s upcoming calendar. On Feb. 1, Lambert will attend the GRAMMYs, where she’s up for four awards.
The nominations came on the heels of the 2024 release of her latest LP, Postcards from Texas, which is set to compete in the Best Contemporary Country Album category.
After her night at the GRAMMYs, Lambert will head to Daytona for race day. In the months that follow, Lambert has performances scheduled in Texas, Florida, California, and more. (A.S.)
