Country music chart-topper Granger Smith is set to headline Talladega Superspeedway’s traditional Saturday Night Infield Concert on April 27, during the track’s spring tripleheader weekend.
Admission to the Saturday Night Infield Concert, located at the intersection of Eastaboga and Talladega Blvds., is FREE to all infield guests and anyone who purchases a ticket to the GEICO 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, April 28.
Smith has amassed a massive and rabid audience known as the “Yee Yee Nation” over the course of his ground-breaking career. Flagship artist on BBR Music Group’s Wheelhouse Records, the born and raised Texan broke onto the national scene with debut album Remington. The album skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes country albums chart, with lead single “Backroad Song” hitting the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. He was awarded a BMI Country Award for writing, producing, publishing and performing the hit song and was nominated as Best New Country Artist for the 2017 iHeartRadio Awards.
Smith released his current album When the Good guys Win, in 2017 and it soared to No. 2 on the Billboard chart. The album spawned the Top 12 hit “Happens Like That” and newly-released single “You’re In It.” He is currently headlining his nationwide “Don’t Tread On Me” tour and has toured and performed with top-country artists such as Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Garth Brooks and more.
The Saturday Night Infield Concert festivities start at 7 p.m. CDT, which kicks off just hours after the conclusion of the MoneyLion 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series event (noon CDT) and qualifying for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ GEICO 500. The GEICO 500 is set to get the green flag on Sunday, April 28, at 1 p.m. CDT.

The action-packed weekend kicks off on Friday, April 26, with the General Tire 200 ARCA Menards Series event. The historic 2.66-mile venue is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year along with Transformation – The Talladega Superspeedway Infield Project presented by Graybar. The new Turn 3 Oversized Vehicle Tunnel, as well as the new Finish Line Premium RV area (includes full hookups) and new Infield Shower Trailers, are scheduled for completion in time for the tripleheader weekend. The culmination of the project will occur in October with a one-of-a-kind Talladega Garage Experience, which will feature “up-close” access, interactive attractions and enhanced amenities.
