BROOKLYN,
Mich. -- Michigan International Speedway has
teamed up with its official beer sponsor, Miller Lite,
to host a Miller Rock N' Racing concert, which will feature
a post-race performance by country music sensation Montgomery
Gentry on Saturday, June 16. The concert will take place
after the conclusion of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
Michigan 200, which is slated to begin at 3 p.m.
Fans who have
purchased tickets to the NCTS Michigan 200, which will
feature many of today's hottest drivers such as Mark Martin,
Johnny Benson and Todd Bodine, can use their ticket stub
for gate admission to the post-race concert and witness
one of country music's hottest bands perform outside of
Turns 1 and 2.
Tickets for
the Michigan 200 are available for $40 each with children
12 and under admitted free. Tickets can be purchased by
visiting MISpeedway.com or calling 800-354-1010. MIS and
Miller Brewing Company are partnering for the third straight
year to make Miller Lite "The Official Beer of MIS"
in 2007.
"Michigan
International Speedway and Miller Lite believe in delivering
fun to all of our fans and that means more than just great
racing," track president Roger Curtis said. "Adding
a Montgomery Gentry concert following our June NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series event will be all about fun for
our fans. This concert will give fans a great opportunity
to witness one of country music's hottest bands."
"What
better way to top off an exciting day of racing at MIS
than with a high-energy show by an award-winning band,
presented by the award-winning light beer," Dockery
Clark, Miller's director of sports and alliance marketing
said. "The Miller Lite Rock 'n Racing series takes
an already great day for legal-drinking-age fans and makes
it even better."
Since their
debut in 1999, the duo of Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry
has been a cornerstone of the most important movement
in country music since the Outlaws. Their elements consist
of straightforward lyrics reflecting the realities of
modern life, a show that is completely inclusive of their
audience, and a gritty rock edge that has captured the
imaginations of their fans. They have joined forces with
rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock to help rewrite
the modern musical landscape.
Country Music
Association's 2000 "Duo of the Year," Montgomery
Gentry added to their list of stellar accomplishments
by becoming Country Music Television's Most Played Duo
in 2005. Taking yet another step forward in their music
maturation, the band released Some People Change on October
24, 2006.
