"The spectrum of talent on grounds for this event is just amazing," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager at Bristol Motor Speedway. "This is a huge celebration of American culture, football, music, tailgating and fun. To have Jennifer Nettles join us for this event just puts a great capstone on the pre-game ceremonies."
