INDIANAPOLIS, Thursday, July 19, 2007 — An impressive lineup of musical acts, including country superstars Gretchen Wilson, Tracy Lawrence and Jo Dee Messina, will entertain fans during all three days of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard on July 27-29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Every show is free with the price of each day’s admission ticket.
Grammy Award winner Wilson will perform a Miller Lite Rock N Racing concert Saturday, July 28. She will take the Miller Lite Stage in the infield of the IMS oval, adjacent to the Hall of Fame Museum, at 4:45 p.m. (ET). Her performance is part of the Kurt Busch and Miller Lite Racing present Rock N Racing concert series.
This will be the inaugural Rock N Racing concert at the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Miller Lite also presents the wildly popular Miller Lite Carb Day Concert during the Indianapolis 500.
Sony recording artist Wilson has become one of the biggest stars in country music since her 2004 debut album, “Here for the Party,” went quadruple-platinum. The album stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard country album chart for nine consecutive weeks and rocketed to No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums charts.
Rocky Comfort Records artist Lawrence will perform at noon on Chevy Day at the Brickyard, Friday, July 27, for Allstate 400 at the Brickyard fans at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The concert will take place at the Coca-Cola Stage, located in the Pagoda Plaza behind the Bombardier Learjet Pagoda.

The concert will take place on the choosechevy.com Stage in the infield of the IMS oval, adjacent to the Hall of Fame Museum.
Messina has been a popular figure on the country music scene since gaining acclaim for her self-titled debut album in 1996. Her 1998 breakthrough album, “I’m Alright,” put Messina in the record books by becoming the first female country artist to score three multiple-week number-one hits from the same album, thanks to the hit singles “Bye Bye,” “I’m Alright” and “Stand Beside Me.”

Country…? =/
No offence at all to anyone who enjoys country or anything..
but if Nascar is trying to lose it’s redneck image..
Don’t you think they would go for something a bit
more popular or rock?
Not that anyone who likes country is a redneck, it’s just
that most people mistakingly associate the two together.
And it’s just another simple thing people bash Nascar and
it’s fans for.
I think a more diverse lineup would be in order, especially since Nascar has been spending a lot of time and money trying to get their diversity program off the ground. The diversity program is not only for the drivers, but also for the drivers to attract a more diverse fan base. Music is a big part of that too. Dale Jr’s done music videos for Sheryl Crow, 3 Doors Down, Jay-Z, and was even in commericals with T.I. That’s a diverse lineup right there if you add it in with the country.
Haha, screw diversity. Let’s just get some talent in the lineup. This not being a lineup consisting of talent… Well, actually… I hate to say it but Jo Dee Messina isn’t too bad.. Tracy Lawrence just needs to go back to Foreman and stay there.
never heard of any of these impressive acts…..
