Last year's winner of the Coca-Cola 600 and the driver of the No. 29 Budweiser Folds of Honor Chevrolet took country music star Brantley Gilbert for hot laps around the Concord, North Carolina facility. Gilbert will perform a special 45-minute pre-race concert, presented by Coca-Cola and the USO on Sunday, May 25.
