Daytona Beach, FL - Three-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Darius Rucker is slated to perform before the 62nd Annual "Great American Race," the Daytona 500.
Rucker, who first achieved multi-platinum status as the frontman for Hootie & the Blowfish, also earned chart-topping success as a solo artist. He has released five critically-acclaimed country albums, nine #1 singles on country radio and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2012.
Hootie & the Blowfish returned to the road in 2019 for their sold-out Group Therapy Tour and released Imperfect Circle, their first new album in nearly 15 years, last month.
“Darius Rucker’s appeal is massive, encompassing fans of both rock and country music, making him a perfect fit for fans attending ‘The Great American Race,’” said Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile. “A talent like this is rare. Darius is a true American success story and we are proud to welcome him back once again.”
Those who purchased UNOH Fanzone/Pre-race access will be able to view Rucker's pre-race show. This show marks Rucker's fourth appearance at Daytona International Speedway and his third appearance as a solo artist.
Tickets and other packages for the 62nd Daytona 500 can be purchased online through the speedway's website or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP/1-800-748-7467
