FGL Wins With NASCAR
• Florida Georgia Line will perform live Saturday, September 8 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) during the track’s 25th annual NASCAR weekend, an expansion of a unique partnership between IMS and Big Machine Records that also will also strategically install the duo’s name into the title of the race for years to come.
The 25th Running of the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard Powered by Florida Georgia Line is scheduled for Sunday, September 9. This marks the first time a major recording artist or act has been added to the official name of a NASCAR race over a multi-year period. Florida Georgia Line will also headline the FGL Fest on stage inside Turn 4 of the historic IMS oval. Additional artists will be announced soon.
“There’s no hotter act in the world right now than Florida Georgia Line,” said Big Machine Label Group President and CEO Scott Borchetta, pictured here, left, with FGL’s Tyler Hubbard & Brian Kelley and NASCAR driver Austin Dillon. “They are dominating at Country and Pop radio, streaming, sales and touring. While they enjoy the statistics, there’s nothing more important to BK and Tyler than putting on an amazing show and celebrating with their fans. This new partnership with Big Machine and IMS to build their own festival is all about creating the best experience possible for FGL fans. Throw in the high-speed action of the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard and this becomes a can’t-miss weekend!”
