NASCAR Champion driver Mike Skinner announced today new ticket prices for the 3RD ANNUAL TOYOTA SKINNER ROUND UP "Hoe Down" concert on Thursday, March 12, at the Fan Zone at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Tickets are currently on sale for $10 at all Sunshine State Bank locations and will be available at Gate 40 (Williamson Blvd entrance) to Daytona International Speedway.
"We feel, in these economic times, that in order to give back to the needs of the community, that the fans need a break too. This is a win-win opportunity to bring your family and enjoy a great concert by Stacy Mitchhart, a celebrity auction and food in the famed infield at this price," says Skinner. He added that the evening kicks off at 6:00pm with photo opportunities in Gatorade Victory Lane beside the Exide #5 Toyota Tundra .
