“I’m partnering with NASCAR to build the biggest, wildest, greatest pre-race party ever! We’re not just having a party; we’re bringing a rock show, a country show, a comedy show, and the kind of BBQ and beer that would make a pit crew chief proud. We’re stuffing all of that—the fun, the laughs, the meat sweats—inside the Ocean Center the night before the 500…Start your engines because I cannot wait to go Full Throttle with all of you!”
