This November, Jason Aldean is making Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway his “kinda party.”
The 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards’ Male Vocalist of the Year will be a highlight of Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, treating all fans in attendance to a special pre-race performance at the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday, November 16. Aldean will also be featured on NASCAR Countdown on ESPN, which begins at 1 p.m. ET. The Ford EcoBoost 400, which marks the final event of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, will air on ESPN at 3 p.m. ET, and be broadcast internationally to more than 200 countries in 24 languages.
Aldean will release his sixth studio album Old Boots, New Dirt on October 7. The album’s smoking lead single “Burnin’ It Down” has held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart since it was released, earning PLATINUM certification in only nine weeks and making it the fastest selling single of 2014. To date, Aldean has sold more than nine million albums and has taken 13 trips to No. 1 on the Country Radio charts. Each of Aldean’s albums has been certified PLATINUM with his last album, Night Train, earning PLATINUM certification only four weeks from its release. Aldean was recently recognized by the RIAA as the top selling male country artist in the digital era with sales totaling more than 21 million downloads. He is currently headlining his monumental 2014 Burn It Down Tour, which saw him play five stadium dates in additions to sold-out shows in the country’s biggest amphitheaters and arenas.
“Jason Aldean is a world class performer, and we believe it is only fitting for him to perform at an event of this magnitude,” Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matthew Becherer said. “The new Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup format has already created a tremendous amount of excitement on the part of our fans for the Ford EcoBoost 400, and this special performance is sure to add to their enthusiasm that day.”
“NASCAR and country music fans are some of the best out there,” said Aldean. “Their energy is always through the roof, so we always look forward to being part of a big racing weekend like this.”
