Ice Cube to Perform At NASCAR Race at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Next month, Ice Cube will perform at a sports event at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, but it won’t be at a Big3 basketball event.

The hip-hop and sports entrepreneur is taking his talents to NASCAR—at least for a day.

“I’ve long been a fan of NASCAR from afar, and

NASCAR has just announced

The performance will also be shown live on FOX. Besides the performance and race, there will also be a season-opening exhibition inside the Coliseum.

“Ice Cube is more than a rapper, actor and entertainer,” said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR senior vice president for strategy and innovation. “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.”

Ice Cube won’t be the only person performing that Sunday.  Popular rapper and businessman Pitbull will perform a 45-minute concert, presented by Coca-Cola ,prior to the 150-lap main event.
