The 2017 NASCAR season will get under way with the Daytona 500 next month and Lady Antebellum will be there to help kick off the new Monster Energy Cup Series.

The new season for NASCAR will feature changes including the name of the top series, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards no longer racing, new rules and regulations and more.

One thing that hasn’t changed is the biggest race of the year will still signify the start of the new racing season in NASCAR. What is also called ‘The Great American Race” is the final event of Daytona Speedweeks.

Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood took some time of as a trio over the past year to pursue some solo projects. However, they just announced that the award winning trio of Lady Antebellum will be back together in 2017 for a new album called Heart Break that will feature their new single “You Look Good.” You can listen for the new single on B104. The new album drops June 9th.

The trio also announced they will be hitting the road together on the “You Look Good Tour” with special guests Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young.

The trio has already been making sure all of their fans know that they have “gotten the band back together” with appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday (1/24) and Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight (1/25).

Apparently the trio is not slowing down now that they are again a united force in country music.

Hillary, Charles and Dave will perform the pre-race concert ahead of the 59th annual Daytona 500 at the Daytona International Speedway Sunday, February 26th. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-800-PITSHOP or visiting www.DAYTONA500.com.

This is not the first time that Lady Antebellum has team with NASCAR. The trio performed the pre-race concert for the Coke Zero 400 in 2008. One of the handful of performances together as Lady Antebellum during their hiatus was an appearance at the inaugural Country 500 Music Festival last year. Both of those performances were also at Daytona International Speedway.

I would say that Lady Antebellum is making sure that everybody knows that they have served notice that the band is indeed back together and ready to move forward with the full power of the talents of all three members combined!
