Get excited, NASH NATION! We finally have another country concert coming to Topeka. Kansas native Jerrod Niemann will play a special concert at the Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals. The concert will take place following the final round of the Mello Yello Drag Races on May 20, 2017. Those who purchased a ticket for the Saturday races will not be required to purchase a separate ticket to take advantage of the show.
Jerrod was born in Harper, Kansas and raised in Liberal. He has released several hit singles including “Lover, Lover”, “Drink to That All Night” and his popular song “Donkey.” The picture below was taken when we took a party bus of NASH Nation members to see Jerrod in concert in Garnett, Kansas for their ‘Cornstock Concert on the Hill‘ in 2014.
Advance tickets for the event are one sale now – available at NHRA.com/tickets.
The Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals presented by Minties Pet Treats is the eighth race of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule and will feature racers in the Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle categories, May 19-21.
