Former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman and and current country music chart-topper Darius Rucker will rev up NASCAR fans before the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix on March 26 at Circuit of the Americas.

This is the third year stock car racers have whipped around the racetrack in the eastern end of Travis County for the NASCAR at COTA series. It's Rucker's first Austin performance since the 2017 I Heart Country Music Festival at the Frank Erwin Center.
