One of the off-track highlights during the Indianapolis 500 activities is the Carb Day Concert at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It follows the final two-hour practice session before the Indianapolis 500 and the annual Indy 500 Pit Stop Challenge.

This year, music icons Bret Michaels and The All- American Rejects will rock fans at the Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on Friday, May 23 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Miller Lite Carb Day is a full day of on- and off-track action and entertainment. All general admission, concert pit and VIP Deck concert tickets include admission to the concert and to on-track activities that day at IMS.

“Miller Lite Carb Day is not just the official party to kick off race weekend, it’s really the kickoff event of the summer,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “The day has everything to make the perfect party: 33 drivers in the final practice before the ‘500,’ the Pit Stop Challenge, people watching and a fun and entertaining concert to put an exclamation point on the party. It really is a day like no other at the Racing Capital of the World. Many of our fans take the day off work and spend it at IMS, which is a tradition we can all celebrate.” The All-American Rejects quickly rose to prominence in the early 2000s with their blend of pop-punk and emo rock. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2002, featured the hit single "Swing, Swing," propelled them into the mainstream.

This success was followed by their sophomore album, "Move Along" (2005), which trophied 3 chart-topping singles like "Dirty Little Secret," "Move Along" and “It Ends Tonight.”

In 2008, they released "When the World Comes Down," featuring the stratospheric and generational smash hit "Gives You Hell," which became their most successful single to date, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The All-American Rejects continue to create and perform on a journey from early 2000s hitmakers to enduring rock icons.

Well-known as an avid Indy 500 and racing fan, Bret Michaels returns to IMS after a record- setting party at his last Carb Day. As one of music’s most iconic singer/songwriters, Michaels consistently brings his energy and star power to every project.
