I’m partnering with NASCAR to create the biggest, wildest, greatest pre-race event EVER.  We’re not just throwing a party; we’re bringing rock music, country music, comedy, beer and barbecue together to create one epic night of awesomeness.  Picture all of THAT - the laughs, the fun, the meat sweats - stuffed inside the Ocean Center the night before the Daytona 500.  It’s an event you do not want to miss… and I cannot wait to go FULL THROTTLE with you!
