Country stars Morgan Wallen and ERNEST enjoyed the Nashville NASCAR race from the best seats in the house – on top of the big screen.
It was no surprise to see the two country music stars at the NASCAR Cracker Barrel 400, but it was surprising to see where they had decided to watch the proceedings from.
The Nashville Superspeedway has been home to NASCAR Xfinity races since 2001 and there were some true members of Music City royalty in attendance.

When you go to Nashville, you half expect to see some country music celebrities when you’re out and about, and attendees to the NASCAR Cracker Barrel 400 were treated to the view of two of Music City’s best.
Country music superstar Morgan Wallen and his long-time friend and collaborator ERNEST were spotted taking in the racing events of the day from some very interesting vantage points – the top of the big screen.
The two country singers were not attempting to go incognito as they sat swinging their legs in full view of everyone.
Both country artists wore racing jackets and allegedly they got the chance to hang out with iconic American race car driver Richard Petty, who Wallen references in his new song I Ain’t Coming Back.
According to rumors, the two auto-enthusiasts were rooting for the Chiefs’ car in the race, and they looked pleased as they surveyed the weekend’s events.
In the true spirit of Nashville, the winner of the race received a gigantic guitar-shaped trophy, an ode to the country roots of Music City.
Ryan Blaney won the race by a long way, lifting the guitar trophy surrounded by a shower of gold confetti.
It looked like the two Cowgirls collaborators Had Some Help when it came to enjoying a day out at the races.
