The Zac Brown Band, Grammy winner for best new artist, will perform at the 32nd annual Budweiser Shootout on Saturday, Feb. 6, at Daytona International Speedway.

The Atlanta-based Zac Brown Band - which consists of bandleader Zac Brown, bassist John Hopkins, violinist Jimmy De Martini, guitarist/organist Coy Bowles, drummer Chris Fryar and multi-instrumentalist and song writer Clay Cook - will perform three songs prior to the Budweiser Shootout on the pre-race stage as well as the national anthem, all of which will be carried live on FOX Sports.

After the checkered flag waves, the band will perform a 60-minute post-race concert from the Sprint FANZONE Entertainment Stage.

Sprint FANZONE/Pre-Race access holders will be able to view the pre-race concert from the tri-oval grass while all ticket holders will have access to the post-race concert, which will start in the Sprint FANZONE approximately 30-minutes after the end of the race.

A special $74 ticket package designed around the Zac Brown Band has been created that includes a Budweiser Shootout ticket, Sprint FANZONE/Pre-Race access and VIP area access to the Zac Brown Band pre-race performance.
