 Craig Campbell will appear at the Daytona International Speedway this coming weekend, headlining the Coca-Cola stage in the Midway Fan Zone prior to the start of the Daytona 500. Campbell will hit the stage at 10:45 AM ET on Sunday, Feb. 26. He is slated to play a free, 90-minute set.   The show is free.

The race itself starts at 1 PM so Campbell will certainly do his best to entertain the crowds for an hour-and-a-half before the actual race. 

He will get the crowd going with this one...I know they love to FISH!

 Miranda Lambert blasted Chris Brown in concert!

The battle began last week, after Miranda ondered on Twitter why the convicted felon was featured on not one, but two performances during the Grammy Awards.

She tweeted:  "Chris Brown twice? I don’t get it. He beat on a girl," before adding "Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys."

Chris Brown fired back on Tuesday, via Twitter when he wrote, "Hate all u (you) want becuz (because) I got a Grammy now! That's the ultimate f**k off! I'm back so watch my back as I walk away from all this negativity."

Days later, during a concert in Massachusetts, Miranda pulled a poster out of the audience reading "Take Notes Chris Brown."

She told the audience:  "Get a good picture now, put it on Twitter,"  while holding the poster up.

Miranda added, "I’ve been in a world of hurt with Chris Brown fans lately ... but see, I just have to speak my mind because where I come from beating up on a woman is never okay.”

 "So that's why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun." The crowd went wild.

MEANWHILE: On Twitter:

This guy acts a little like The Bear in Mexico!

One of Phil Vassar's Performances

What do you think? I think Neal McCoy and I might have a future touring together...  Watch about a minute and half in.

What a great trip so far!  We've had two private concerts in the convention center here at the Aventura Spa Palace and they were outstanding!  Neal McCoy, Phil Vassar and Jason Michael Carroll all brought their A game as far as performances go.  I'm still deciding if the world is ready to see my performance of The Hillbilly Rap with Neal.... hmmm.  

The meet and greet went off without a hitch and you can't beat the view in the morning while we are broadcasting.  We are out on a large palapa overlooking the ocean and the resort.

Our room is next to the pool and Jason Michael Carroll has had his fill of water polo and pool volleyball.  I don't think I've seen so many people doing water aerobics at once before... maybe I should get in there! Everyone is so friendly here and we've been spoiled by the food.  And yes... you all heard right, my wife talked me into a pedicure.
