MIAMI-
In 2015, NASCAR witnessed one of the most remarkable comebacks in the
sports' history, as Kyle Busch collected his first career Sprint Cup
Series championship by emerging victorious in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at
Homestead-Miami Speedway. Regardless of which of the 16 Chase drivers
are part of the Championship 4 at the 2016 Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday,
November 20, there is guaranteed to be another comeback completed that
day.
Hot
off the release of their new single "Comeback Kid," Grammy®
Award-winning superstar sibling trio - The Band Perry - will make a
special live performance prior to this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
championship race. The Band Perry will be featured in Homestead-Miami
Speedway's pre-race show, which airs on Countdown to Green on NBC that
Sunday. The Ford EcoBoost 400 championship race, which is televised in
185 countries and territories, will be broadcast on NBC, MRN and
SiriusXM NASCAR Radio at 2:30 p.m. ET.
The
Band Perry, which consists of siblings Kimberly Perry, Neil Perry and
Reid Perry, are an unstoppable presence in music. The trio has released
two studio albums, The Band Perry (2010) and Pioneer (2013).Their first
album went certified platinum and included the sextuple-platinum
chart-topper, "If I Die Young," the platinum-selling "You Lie" and "All
Your Life (a #1 single). Their second album Pioneer was certified gold
and also featured two No. 1 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country
Songs chart with the song "Better Dig Two"and "DONE.", a first No. 1 for
brothers Reid and Neil as songwriters. In February 2015, The Band Perry
won their first Grammy®Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and
have also earned multiple awards from the likes of The Country Music
Association, CMT Music Awards, the American Country Awards and the
Academy of Country Music. Recently named ambassadors for Teen Cancer
America (a charity founded by The Who's Roger Daltrey), The Band Perry
recently launched a million-dollar fundraising campaign with the
nonprofit to benefit Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Monroe
Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital to expand the Adolescent and Young Adult
Cancer program in Nashville. They are currently putting the finishing
touches on their third studio album.
"We are
thrilled to have The Band Perry performing in what will be an exciting
day at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which will be capped off with the Ford
EcoBoost 400 championship race on Sunday," said Homestead-Miami Speedway
President Matthew Becherer. "The Band Perry has become a household name
in country music, and having them kick off the Sprint Cup Series
championship race with a pre-race concert will be an electrifying
experience for NASCAR and all of our fans. We can't wait to see the show
they put on in November."
