Popular rock band Cracker will headline the annual Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on Thursday, May 22, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The concert will be the finale of a busy day at the legendary 2.5-mile oval. Miller Lite Carb Day begins with final practice for the Indianapolis 500 starting field from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. (EST). Pride and a hefty payday will be on the line for 12 Indy Racing League IndyCarTM Series teams competing in the 27th annual Checkers/Rally's Indy 500 Pit Stop Challenge from 1:30-3 p.m., and Cracker will take to the Coca-Cola Stage for the Miller Lite Carb Day Concert at 3:30 p.m.
The Coca-Cola Stage is located in the Pagoda Plaza behind the 13-story Bombardier Pagoda control tower.
Virgin Music recording artists Cracker have produced memorable hit songs such as "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)" off its 1992 debut album "Cracker Brand" and "Low" and "Get Off This" from their breakthrough album "Kerosene Hat," released in August 1993. The band has released a total of five studio albums. Their most recent effort, "Forever," was released in 2002.
Tickets for Miller Lite Carb Day are $10 at the gate, with children ages 5 and younger admitted free. All activities for the day - including the Cracker concert - are included in the price of gate admission. The Speedway's gates open to the public on Miller Lite Carb Day at 8 a.m. and close at 6 p.m.
