Loudon, NH — The American rock band 38 Special led by Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant will kick start the SYLVAINA 300 with a concert during pre-race activities on September 19 beginning at 11:15 a.m.

The thousands of audience members who attend 38 Special shows are still amazed at the power and strength of the band’s performance ability.
“When we come out people are like, ‘Whoa!’ It’s like a freight train rolling over them,” said vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes on the bands live shows.
The band has also written songs for numerous movie soundtracks including; Super Troopers and have contributed to country legend Hank William’s, Jr. Tribute disc in 1999. More recently, southern rock and country collide when 38 Special and Trace Adkins came together for an unforgettable live taping on CMT Crossroads in 2008. Other hits include; “Hold on Loosely,” “Second Chance,” and “Caught Up in You.”
