The Chicago Street Race concert will be one of five full-length concerts at NASCAR races, as part of the first-ever Busch Light Summer Music Series — an exciting new fan experience born from the renewal of the long-time partnership with the “Official Beer Sponsor of NASCAR.” Since the 1990s, the Anheuser-Busch family of brands has created countless opportunities for 21+ NASCAR fans to get closer to the sport they love. This summer, additional electrifying pre-race performances will take place at Texas Motor Speedway (May 2-4), Michigan International Speedway (June 7-8), Iowa Speedway (Aug. 2-3), and Busch Light‘s hometown of St. Louis at World Wide Technology Raceway (Sept. 6-7).
“At Busch Light, our Midwest fans are at the heart of everything we do, so bringing one of the biggest bands in country to a race in the iconic Midwest city of Chicago was a no-brainer,” said Kyrstyn Stowe, Head of Marketing, Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch. “With NASCAR, we‘re shifting fan engagement into high gear, uniting two of race fans‘ greatest passions: country music and cold, smooth Busch Light.”
New for 2025, NASCAR will also offer an exclusive VIP Concert Viewing add-on, allowing a limited number of fans up-front access to the Saturday concert showcase. In addition, NASCAR will also offer a new V.V.I.P. Experience in 2025, with multiple options including pit and garage passes, track laps, and the opportunity for a photo with the winner of the Grant Park 165 in Mobil1 Victory Lane.
Fans with tickets to the Fountain Club will be treated to the most direct line of sight for the concert, with reserved stadium seating and all-inclusive hospitality as a part of the premium club experience. All tickets to the NASCAR Chicago Street Race include access to the concerts, and fans with Sunday-only tickets will also be able to access the Saturday Zac Brown Band headlining concert.

“Zac‘s music is the soundtrack to summer, so we can‘t think of a better band to headline on Independence Day Weekend,” said Julie Giese, President, NASCAR Chicago Street Race. “Between the incredible skyline and the pristine shores of Lake Michigan, Zac Brown Band will make for one of the most iconic concert experiences of the summer, without a doubt.”
Throughout their career spanning more than a decade, Zac Brown Band has had six consecutive albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and five consecutive albums debut at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Country Albums chart. To date, the group has won three GRAMMY ® Awards, including Best New Artist in 2010, sold more than 30.5 million singles, 9.3 million albums, amassed over 11.2 billion catalog streams, achieved 16 No. 1 radio singles and are the second act to top both the Country and Active Rock formats. Zac Brown Band has headlined nine North American Tours and currently holds the record for most consecutive sold-out shows at the iconic Fenway Park. Symbolic of their massive success at the ballpark, in July 2022, Zac Brown Band was inducted into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame, joining music icons Paul McCartney and Billy Joel. Since their debut, Zac Brown Band has developed a reputation with critics and fans alike as one of the most dynamic live performers, marked by strong musicianship that defies genre boundaries.
The Chicago Street Race — which was named “Sports Event of the Year” by Sports Business Journal — previously announced new ticket options, along with reduced prices throughout the footprint, and a shorter overall build schedule. Guests will also enjoy significantly lower price points on “Grounds Pass” tickets and reserved seating (which will now include a new single-day option as well).
