MOORESVILLE, N.C. 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.

Music icons Bret Michaels and The All-American Rejects will rock fans at the Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on May 23 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Miller Lite Carb Day is not just the official party to kick off race weekend, its really the kickoff event of the summer, IMS President Doug 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 infectious blend of pop-punk and emo rock. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2002, featured the hit single Swing, Swing, which propelled them into the mainstream. This success was followed by their sophomore album, Move Along (2005), which trophied three chart-topping singles like Dirty Little Secret, Move Along and It Ends Tonight.

In 2008, the band released When the World Comes Down, featuring the stratospheric and generational smash hit Gives You Hell, which became its most successful single to date, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The All-American Rejects continue to create and perform, solidifying their place as one of the most beloved bands of their genre. Their journey from early 2000s hitmakers to enduring rock icons is a testament to their talent, resilience, and the deep connection they share with their fans.

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 musics most iconic singer/songwriters, Michaels consistently brings his iconic energy and star power to every project. He has sold more than 100 million records, digital downloads and streams worldwide, and his numerous hit singles include Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Go That Far and Nothing But A Good Time.
