Uncle Kracker to Headline Saturday Night Concert at Talladega

Talladega Superspeedway announced on Wednesday Night that singer-songwriter Uncle Kracker will be the headliner of the annual Saturday Night Infield Concert on April 28th. The concert will take place following the NASCAR XFINITY Series Sparks Energy 300 on the high banks of the Talladega Superspeedway. The annual concert has become a fan favorite during both race weekends and has seen some of the biggest artists including Colt Ford, Big & Rich, Charlie Daniels Band, and others.

"When I’m up on stage, I don’t feel removed from the people,” said Uncle Kracker in the track release. “It’s very interactive. It’s meant to be a party, and I want everybody involved. Each time we go on stage, I want people to leave smiling.”

Kracker made his first appearance as a DJ in Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker band. Following that he went on to a solo career. In 2001, Kracker made his debut with the No. 1 song "Follow Me". "In a Little While", "Smile", and his 2003 cover of Dobie Gray's classic "Drift Away," all became top hits in the world of music. Kracker's "My Hometown," was featured in the soundtrack of Activision's NASCAR The Game: Inside Line that was released in 2012.

Accompanying Uncle Kracker will be NASCAR fan favorite Tim Duggar and locally known DJ Mark A.D. from nearby Birmingham, Alabama. The show is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. CDT and will take place at the intersection of Eastboga and Talladega Blvds. in the infield. Admission to this great concert will be free with a ticket to Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500.

The Motorsports News Source suggests the two-day ticket package that starts at just $60.00 ($100.00 for the higher up seats). With that deal, you can get a ticket to both Saturday's XFINITY Series and Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. With that Cup race ticket, you get entry into the Uncle Kracker concert and you get Free Camping (no-hookups). Where else can you get that killer of a deal? (Koelle,2018)
