Grand Marshal Cody Jinks.
The independent country star is gearing up to release his next studio album this week, aptly titled Change The Game, and he will serve as Grand Marshal for the Focused Health 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race this Saturday too.
The race will take place at Circuit of The Americas outside Austin, Texas, and in addition to Cody delivering the most famous words in motor sports, the #15 Ford car, driven by Hailie Deegan, will feature Cody Jinks graphics, which is sure to be totally bad*ss.
Jinks, a longtime NASCAR fan who is friends with some of the Cup Series drivers, says he can’t wait to be the Grand Marshal and take in the race:
“I’ve always been a fan, and I’ve gotten to know several of the NASCAR folks over the years. I’m told they even play our music in the garages.
I’m excited for this opportunity and looking forward to the race.”
The race will broadcast live on Fox Sports 1:
Change The Game was produced by Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top) along with Jinks’ longtime bassist Joshua Thompson, and Jinks says:
“This is the most open and honest record I’ve ever recorded, I laid everything out.”
So far from the album, Cody has released three songs in “Sober Thing,” “Outlaws and Mustangs,” and the title track, and the full project is due out everywhere this Friday, March 22nd and I can’t wait.
