Sanctus Real rocks NASCAR Pepsi 400

Sanctus Real was a featured performer for drivers and fans at the recent NASCAR Pepsi 400 presented by Farmer Jack at Michigan International Speedway.

Sanctus Real debuted new music from its critically acclaimed album Say It Loud, which releases December 24, in both the “infield” and the campground for a multitude of fans gathered for the NASCAR-sanctioned events. Lead vocalist Matt Hammitt also led worship at a chapel service prior to the race, which was exclusive for drivers and their families.

Following the band’s performances, more than 136,000 people watched NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett take the checkered flag in his UPS Ford at this sold out race held at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI, the largest permanent spectator arena in the State of Michigan.
