Whiskey Myers has released five studio albums since its debut in 2008, the most recent effort a self-titled record released in September 2019 and one which debuted No. 1 on Billboard Country and Billboard Active Rock charts, and No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200. Cannon will perform two songs -- “Trailer We Call Home” and “Bury My Bones" -- and chat about the upcoming race at the virtual Richmond Raceway. The race, which is set to air at 1 p.m. ET on FOX/FS1 (subject to change) and the FOX Sports App, will feature some of NASCAR’s biggest names in short-track action.
Cannon joins the list of virtual pre-race acts since the Pro Invitational Series was conceived and developed in advance of the Dixie Vodka 150 at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway on March 22. Tim Dugger played a virtual pre-race show for that event, with Cole Swindell taking the reins last week and Justin Moore following suit for Bristol.
Fans can catch the virtual pre-race concert Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET on NASCAR’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
