Country artist Hunter Hayes to rock Charlotte Motor Speedway in October
Charlotte Motor Speedway announced Monday afternoon that five-time Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes will perform ahead of the Oct. 10 Bank of America 500.
Hunter Hayes prepares to ride along around Charlotte Motor Speedway with the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience on Friday afternoon.
"I'm a huge gearhead, and I know Charlotte Motor Speedway is the heart of NASCAR country, so I can't wait to get there and play some music for all of the racing fans there," Hayes said. "It's going to be electric."
Prior to making the announcement, Hayes got a taste of the racing action at CMS, taking a ride-along with the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. Climbing aboard with 2002 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year Stephen Leicht, Hayes hit the 1.5-mile speedway for a handful of laps before playing a concert later that evening in Charlotte.
Hayes is best known for hits such as "Wanted," "I Want Crazy," as well as his current single, "21." The 23-year-old was named the Country Music Association's "New Artist of the Year" in 2012 and has received a host of other awards and nominations.
