ZZ Top to perform pre-race concert at Charlotte: ZZ Top, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, will bring their iconic tunes, trademark beards and dark sunglasses to Charlotte Motor Speedway for what promises to be an energetic pre-race concert to get fans revved up before the green flag falls on the Coca-Cola 600, Sunday, May 24. The concert was announced by Coca-Cola Racing Family driver Danica Patrick and Marcus Smith, president and general manager at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Tuesday. Patrick, who said she grew up listening to ZZ Top, drove the "Little Ol' Band From Texas" into a press event in a vintage Chevrolet Bel Air as the band's classic "Sharp Dressed Man" played. Comprised of the same three members who formed the band in 1969 - Billy F. Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass) and Frank Beard (drums) - ZZ Top will perform a 45-minute set in the infield of the legendary 1.5-mile superspeedway just hours before NASCAR's best are scheduled to take the track for the ultimate test of man and machine. The concert is free for all Coca-Cola 600 race ticket holders. (CMS)(4-8-2015)

Personal Note:

When I was 16 and in Houston, one Friday Night after work at the Parts Store several of of Us had gone over to an NHRA Funny Car Shop to hang out for a while and about 9PM we are sitting around Bench Racing and there is a "BAM BAM BAM!!! on the garage door- one of the Team Owners goes to see who it is and comes back in the workshop with Bill, Dusty and Frank in tow!!!!!!!!!!!

Well being 15-16 years old we all just dropped our jaws open...

They hung out and Partied for about an hour and then moved on to the next stop they were headed to.
