LOCASH brought the Country soundtrack to race weekend as the chart-topping duo served as Grand Marshals during NASCAR’s eero 400 weekend at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, on Sunday, July 5.

As Grand Marshals, LOCASH took part in one of NASCAR’s most iconic traditions, helping set the tone for race-day and bringing energy to the legendary command for drivers to start their engines. The recognition places LOCASH alongside an esteemed lineup of past Grand Marshals, with the role previously filled at NASCAR events by major names including Morgan Freeman, Glen Powell, Mark Wahlberg and Kim Kardashian.

This year’s race weekend carried added significance as NASCAR returned to Chicagoland Speedway for the first time in several years. Taking place during Fourth of July weekend as the nation celebrated America’s 250th birthday, the event brought an extra layer of red, white and blue to an already electric race-day atmosphere.

During the weekend, LOCASH also took a moment to trade Grand Marshal duties for full Ricky Bobby energy, filming a hilarious Talladega Nights-inspired video at the speedway, take a look here.

The appearance continues a big summer for LOCASH, who recently teamed up with Parmalee for their feel-good new collaboration, “Let The Country Music Play,” a party-ready reimagining of Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Piña Colada Song).” Known for their high-energy live show and deep connection with fans, LOCASH were right at home soundtracking a weekend built on horsepower, American pride and Country music. Next up, fans can catch LOCASH at Country Jam USA in Eau Claire, WI on July 16, followed by Freedom Fest in Little Falls, MN on July 17.
