One of country music’s fastest-rising stars, ERNEST, will take center stage at Charlotte Motor Speedway ahead of the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 on Sunday, Oct. 5, bringing his chart-topping hits and unmistakable Nashville sound to one of the most anticipated races of the NASCAR Playoffs.
As a two-time Country Music Association (CMA) Triple Play Award winner and GRAMMY-nominated artist, ERNEST has quickly become one of country music’s most dynamic performers and songwriters. ROVAL™ fans will be treated to a high-energy set from the man behind “Flower Shops,” “Miss That Girl” and record-breaking smash “I Had Some Help,” which he co-wrote for Post Malone and Morgan Wallen.
“I’m fired up to hit the stage at Charlotte Motor Speedway and rock the ROVAL™,” said ERNEST. “There’s nothing like the energy of race day, the roar of the crowd, the speed and the stakes of the playoffs. I can’t wait to bring the party and help set the tone for a big playoff moment.”
ERNEST, a two-time ACM Award nominee, has penned 11 No. 1 hits as a songwriter and earned his own No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay as a performer with “Would If I Could.” In 2023, ERNEST was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and continues to draw acclaim from outlets like Billboard, The Tennessean and Country Now for his 26-track sophomore album, “Nashville, Tennessee,” further cementing ERNEST’s reputation as one of Music City’s most compelling voices.
Currently on tour with Old Dominion—who rocked the Coca-Cola 600 pre-race stage earlier this year—and Lainey Wilson, ERNEST will make a pit-stop at Charlotte Motor Speedway for a 60-minute set, jump-starting the electrifying energy of the 17-turn Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 playoff race.
