KUSTOM ENTERTAINMENT AND RAHAL LETTERMAN LANIGAN RACING HOST TRACE ADKINS AT THE FIRESTONE GRAND PRIX OF ST. PETERSBURG
February 27 2023 - 9:00AM
Kustom Entertainment, a subsidiary of Digital Ally, Inc., and Rahal
Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) will combine their efforts this
coming weekend to host MULTI-PLATINUM entertainer and TV/film actor
Trace Adkins. Adkins will participate in a key role on the pre-race
grid of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP
Funding this weekend, March 3-5.
Adkins will perform the national anthem as two
F-16 Fighting Falcons from Homestead Air Reserve Base fly over the
track, and the color guard from American Legion Post 273 Madeira
Beach presents the flags.
Trace Adkins has sold over 11 million albums,
charted 40 singles on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart, earned
numerous awards and multiple Grammy Award nominations, plus
garnered over two billion streams since his debut in 1996. He has
also been a Grand Ole Opry member for nearly two decades, and is
known for notable roles as an actor in film and television,
including voice-overs for Firestone commercials. Recently, Adkins
set out for his headline Somewhere in America tour which spans
coast-to-coast throughout this year.
“It is always a distinct honor to perform our
national anthem at any event, but it’s an extra thrill to kick off
the start of the Firestone Grand Prix,” said Trace Adkins. “As a
longtime auto racing fan, I look forward to attending the Grand
Prix of St. Petersburg.”
Trace Adkins will perform at Country Roots
Festival in Kansas City, Kansas on May 13th. This is the first
festival Kustom 440, a division of Kustom Entertainment, will
produce and promote Trace Adkins and other musicians as part of
Country Roots Festival.
“We are honored and excited to host such an
accomplished performer not only at our Country Roots Festival but
here at St. Pete.” said Stan Ross, CEO of Kustom Entertainment. “We
look forward to introducing Trace to the RLL family and our No. 30
NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver, Jack Harvey.”
“I can’t wait to take the green flag for the
season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in my No. 30
Kustom Entertainment Indy car,” added Jack Harvey. “The race was
already a must-see event and having Trace Adkins with us on race
day and performing the national anthem will make it even more so.
Kustom Entertainment has absolutely been killing it recently!”
