Ice Cube has been booked for a NASCAR event.
The legendary rapper will perform during a race break at NASCAR’s Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum. The race is scheduled to take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on February 6.
“I’ve long been a fan of NASCAR from afar, and I’ve become an even bigger fan after seeing the action in person,” Ice Cube said in a press release. “And now to perform for all of the fans at the Coliseum and for the millions watching at home, I’m excited to be part of an incredible day for NASCAR and L.A.”
NASCAR’s senior vice president for strategy and innovation Ben Kennedy added, “Ice Cube is more than a rapper, actor and entertainer. He’s an icon who has risen to the top in all of his endeavors. We’re honored to have him perform at this first-of-its-kind event in the heart of Los Angeles.”
Can’t wait for the @icecube performance at the race break during the #BuschLightClash.
