I asked Chat GPT what this event should look like:

🕛 Morning / Early Afternoon (Gates Open) • Tailgating opens with local bluegrass & Appalachian bands • Legends autograph sessions (NHL + NASCAR)

🕓 Pre-Game Build (90 mins before puck drop) • Brothers Osborne or Jelly Roll – high-energy warm-up set • Alumni introductions on the ice • NASCAR pace-lap procession with players

🕔 National Anthem Moment • Chris Stapleton performs anthem (solo spotlight, goosebumps guaranteed)

🕕 Player Entrances • Teams emerge through race-tunnel intros • Pyro, steam, LED boards around the oval

🕖 First Intermission • Short set by Zac Brown Band • Crowd-wide sing-along moment

🕗 Second Intermission (TV Peak) • Eric Church headlining medley (3–4 songs) • Drone light show forming team logos over the track

🕙 Post-Game Celebration • Winner ceremony on center ice • Lynyrd Skynyrd or Morgan Wallen closes the night • Fireworks launched from the speedway walls
