Kip Moore to perform Busch Light Summer Music Series concert at Darlington Raceway

Darlington Raceway is thrilled to announce that multi-platinum singer/songwriter Kip Moore will perform a Busch Light Summer Music Series Concert prior to the 2025 Cook Out Southern 500.

The performance will take place on the Busch Light Summer Music Series stage on the front stretch, offering unforgettable entertainment before the green flag drops on the final race of the Track Too Tough to Tame’s 75th anniversary celebration. The concert experience is included for all fans with a paid admission, but fans with the $35Pre-Race Experience Pass add-on will have the best access to the stage on the front stretch and driver introductions.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Kip Moore to Darlington Raceway as part of the Busch Light Summer Music Series,” said Josh Harris, President of Darlington Raceway. “Kip’s reputation as a world-class performer and his deep connection with fans make him the perfect artist to ignite the energy leading into one of NASCAR’s most celebrated races.”

Known for his powerful live performances and gritty authenticity, Moore has carved out a distinctive path in country music and beyond. Hailed as “an uncompromising, genre-defying artist firing on all cylinders”(Vice/Noisey) and “one of country’s more thoughtful artists” (Billboard), he has amassed over 1 billion streams, 2.5 million monthly listeners, and sold out stadiums across the globe—from the U.S. to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Europe.

Moore has released six critically acclaimed albums and penned over a dozen chart-topping singles, including hits “Something ‘Bout a Truck,” “Hey Pretty Girl,” “Beer Money,” and “More Girls Like You.” With the release of his new album Solitary Tracks, Moore is poised for a monumental year as the steadfast road-warrior continues to bring his new songs worldwide. Moore is currently out on the road this summer as part of the Billy Currington & Kip Moore: Live In Concert playing to capacity crowds across the country.

“The Busch Light Summer Music Series has been an unmatched experience built for victory lane. I can’t think of anything better than taking home the checkered flag at our final show with a full-throttle performance from Kip Moore,” said Krystyn Stowe, Head of Marketing, Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch. “Darlington Raceway is at the heart of motorsports, so we had to bring our fans to the center of the action with two of their favorite things: country music and cold, smooth Busch Light.”

The Darlington Raceway performance will be the final of five full-length concerts as part of the inaugural Busch Light Summer Music Series—an exciting fan experience born from the renewed partnership with NASCAR’s Official Beer Sponsor. Since the 1990s, Anheuser-Busch has created countless opportunities for 21+ NASCAR fans to get closer to the sport they love.

The Busch Light Summer Music Series kicked off with ERNEST at Texas Motor Speedway and was quickly followed by a performance from Ashley Cooke at Michigan International Speedway. Plus, NASCAR and country music fans recently enjoyed jamming out with the Zac Brown Band at the Chicago Street Race and Corey Kent at the Iowa Speedway, and now the series will conclude with a final electrifying pre-race performance by Kip Moore at Darlington Raceway.

Moore’s performance adds yet another incredible highlight for NASCAR fans on Labor Day Weekend at Darlington Raceway. The Sober or Slammer 200 on Aug. 30 will serve as the opening act of the 2025NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs, as the series’ top 10 drivers will vie for a win that punches their ticket into the Round of 8.

And then on Sunday, Aug. 31 the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will open their playoffs with the Cook Out Southern 500, one of NASCAR’s crown-jewel events and the culmination of Darlington Raceway’s 75th Anniversary celebration.
