‘We’ve established a reputation for creating a Ôbig event’ atmosphere during all of our events and these two artists will certainly generate added enthusiasm for our ÔChannel 5-205’ and ÔMeijer 300 Presented by Oreo’ weekends,’ Kentucky Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager Mark F. Cassis said. ‘We’re proud to be hosting both of these top caliber artists on our WUBE-FM B-105 Country Soundstage.’ (Country music star Mark Wills will also perform prior to the June 14 NASCAR Busch Series ‘Meijer 300 Presented by Oreo.)
Both concerts are included with the purchase of a race ticket for the respective events.
Cochran’s well received self-titled 2001 album produced the hit singles ‘I Cry’ and ‘Angels in Waiting’ to help her become the 2002 ABC Radio Networks Listener Awards "New Artist of the Year." Her 2002 Life Happened release features the hit title single as well as the hit ‘Love Won’t Let Me,’ which reached No. 36 on the March 1 edition of the Billboard charts.
Kentucky Speedway opens May 9-10 with the return of the ARCA RE/MAX Series for the ‘Channel 5-205’ and autograph session with NASCAR Winston Cup Series stars.
