MIAMI, Fla. (Oct. 21, 2022) – From his pre-race concert to the most famous words in motorsports, multi-platinum, country music artist Kip Moore is adding ’Grand Marshal’ to his Sunday (Oct. 23) resume at Homestead-Miami Speedway’s Dixie Vodka 400.

Moore, already slated to perform the concert ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race, will also deliver the command. “Drivers, Start Your Engines,” as NASCAR’s best prepare to take on the 1.5-mile South Florida track in the second race of three in the premier series’ Playoffs Round of 8.

The Dixie Vodka 400 is set for a 2:30 p.m. ET start. A limited amount of tickets remain, and fans are encouraged to visit www.homesteadmiamispeedway.com or call (866) 409-RACE (7223) for details.

The country music star’s impressive discography includes four critically praised studio albums and two EPs, all of which contributed to Moore’s worldwide success, landing him on multiple “Best of” lists. He released his fourth and most recent studio album, Wild World, in 2021, co-writing and co-producing the collection of songs, which earned resounding acclaim.

An international sensation, Kip Moore’s fan base extends from the U.S. to the U.K., all the way to Australia. His breakout hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” turned him into a household name within the country music genre, going double-platinum in 2012. Moore followed up his breakout success with three more No. 1 hits, “Hey Pretty Girl,” “Beer Money,” and “More Girls Like You.”

Moore is known for penning many of his own best-selling hits, including his latest single, “Fire on Wheels,” which he co-wrote and co-produced with Jaren Johnston of the country band “The Cadillac Three”.
