"We are delighted to be partnering with the Texas Motor Speedway and look forward to spending time with race fans in Texas," AMDRO Senior Brand Manager Andrea Fuller said. "Thanks to Lowe's, we're also able to offer unprecedented value to Texas area shoppers in April."

The Casey Donahew Band has grown from playing Fort Worth-area bars to becoming one of the most popular acts in Texas Country. The group has continued its ascent in the charts since releasing its first album in 2006. Double-Wide Dream (2011) and Standoff (2013), the band's two most recent albums, reached the top 10 on the country charts.
