Pickler, who hails from nearby Albemarle, N.C., is looking forward to singing for fans at the Food City 500.
“Two of my favorite things are singing country music and
driving fast,” she said, “so I can’t wait to get to Bristol and the
NASCAR Food City 500 to do both!”
Pickler recently released her third album, 100 Proof, a
diverse collection that showcases Pickler’s ability to appreciate
country music while helping build its future. Pickler, who wrote much of
the album, goes traditional with “Stop Cheatin’ on Me”, “Where’s Tammy Wynette?” along with “Mother’s Day” and “The Letter.”
The 25-year-old Pickler shot to stardom after finishing
sixth on the fifth season of American Idol in 2005. Among the hits from
her first two albums, Small Town Girl and the self-titled Kellie
Pickler, are “Red High Heels”, “I Wonder”, “Don’t You Know You’re
Beautiful”, “Best Days Of Your Life”, “Things That Never Cross A Man’s
Mind”, and “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You”.
Fans who purchase any of the options below for the Food
City 500 will receive a pre-race pass that will allow them access to
Pickler’s concert, which will take place on the backstretch. They also
will be able to stay on the track for driver introductions. Track Tours
are limited to the first 500 fans to purchase.
