The singer-songwriter, actor, and music producer will serve as Grand Marshall for the NASCAR race (
Ford EcoBoost 400) at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, November 17.
Keith will deliver the most famous words in motorsports, “Drivers
start your engines,” to commence the 15th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race
in South Florida and the 12th consecutive championship finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“Toby Keith is an American icon and, like Homestead-Miami Speedway,
he has a great partnership with Ford,” said Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matthew Becherer. “He is the perfect
individual to officially start the
Ford EcoBoost 400.
We’ll have live music before the race from Miami’s own DJ Irie and a
soon-to-be-announced concert act. And then, Toby will keep the
excitement going by giving the command for drivers to start their
engines and begin 267 laps of championship racing.”
Keith released his 17th studio album “Drinks After Work” on October
29, 2013. One of the most prolific songwriters and touring artists,
Keith has performed many concerts in the Middle East for the U.S. armed
forces. The Oklahoma native has 32 number one song singles to his
credit.
