Southern Rock fans, Hampton is now the place to be Labor Day Weekend for more reasons than just three days of great racing at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

↵Skynyrd is no rookie when it comes to NASCAR, having appeared on the licensed album "NASCAR: Hotter than Asphalt" in the mid-1990s as well as having their signature song, "Sweet Home Alabama," featured prominently in EA Sports' "NASCAR Thunder 2002."
↵The show, titled "Fast Cars & Guitars," will take place prior to driver introductions on the frontstretch.
