The news was announced during the NFL playoff game between the Eagles and 49ers on Jan. 11 on Fox. Lambert will be part of NASCAR\u2019s 2026 Daytona 500 festivities, performing at the pre-race concert.<\/p>\n
Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher said in a statement, \u201cTo have this level of talent, with an artist such as Miranda Lambert performing our pre-race concert, adds an incredible amount of energy for the 68th running of the Daytona 500.\u201d<\/p>\n
You got that right, Frank. Adding Lambert feels like the perfect choice \u2014 she has plenty of songs in her catalog that are guaranteed to fire up an already amped-up crowd of racing\u00a0fans.<\/p>\n
