Chase Rice: From NASCAR to country music

Posted Apr 30, 2015
Chase Rice: "I've loved NASCAR my whole life, so I'm pumped to be playing at Talladega. It's a big thing for us to play somewhere so ingrained in the NASCAR community. My dad raced and actually won his class at 24 Hours of Daytona, so racing was always in my blood. I grew up on Daytona, and on Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Richard Petty back in the day. We'd go to as many races as we possibly could." (NASCAR.com)
