Randy Montana has been added as a performer at this weekend's Daytona 500, which serves at the kickoff to the NASCAR racing season.

The country artist will perform on Sunday, February 20th at 11 a.m. ET on the Coca-Cola Racing Family Stage as part of the pre-race festivities that take place in the midway outside track, which is open to the public.

Montana is also set to perform for a mass crowd at the New Orleans Arena for the 2011 Bassmaster Classic this weekend. He'll headline the free-to-the-public show on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. CT.

"Anytime you can play in front of that many people, it's good exposure," said Montana. "You just hope to bring home a few fans. We'll hit it hard."

Local Nashville fans can tune in Friday, February 25th for Montana's performance of his new hit single, "1,000 Faces" on Fox's Tennessee Mornings "Artists to Watch" segment, which will air in the 8:30 a.m. Central Time half-hour.
