Country rock band Parmalee to perform pre-race concert May 13 at Kansas Speedway

“Musta Had A Good Time” could be the anthem song for NASCAR fans, and on May 13 fans attending the Go Bowling 400 will be able to hear country rock band Parmalee play the song live prior to the race at Kansas Speedway.

Parmalee’s country rock sound has its roots in the bluegrass, traditional country, southern rock and blues covers the guys grew up hearing their families play.

Parmalee’s debut album, “Feels Like Carolina,” has earned critical praise from People, The New York Times, USA Today, Newsday, Billboard and more. Country fans voted the band’s debut single, “Musta Had A Good Time,” No. 1 for four consecutive weeks on SiriusXM’s The Highway “Hot 30 Live” countdown and the song became a Top 40 hit on mainstream country radio. The fun-loving party anthem has been featured in national sporting event broadcasts from the PGA to MLB.

The band made history when its multi-week No. 1 smash “Carolina” became the longest climbing single by a duo or group in the 24-year history of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. They were also the first multi-member country act to garner a #1 single on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase-Country Aircheck charts since Florida Georgia Line. “Carolina” was certified gold (for over 500,000 in sales) by the RIAA.

Parmalee has toured with Jake Owen, who performed the pre-race concert at Kansas Speedway prior to the June 2011 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race, and Brad Paisley.

To see Parmalee from the Kansas Speedway tri-oval, add a pre-race pass to your race day ticket. Tickets to all Kansas Speedway events are currently on sale by calling 866-460-7223 or online at www.kansasspeedway.com.
