Rhino Records recently reported:

Race fans attending the Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway on October 11th will be part of history on more than one level.

Not only will those attending witness the “first” ever Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Southern California, but they will also have the opportunity to be part of the “first” live performance video shoot of rock-and-roll legend FOREIGNER's 'Can’t Slow Down' at Southern California’s premier motorsports facility on Sunday, October 11th. Fans wishing to take part in the taping should gather at the main stage in the Opportunity California Fanzone at 10:15 AM.

“I have always been a diehard Formula One fan, but recently I had a NASCAR revelation. Now, as our new song says I ‘Can't Slow Down’. I have become a huge NASCAR fan and try to catch as many races as I can,” said Foreigner’s Mick Jones. “NASCAR fans are our kind of people and that’s why we have chosen to film our new music video at Auto Club Speedway. I'm really looking forward to our future affiliation with a great community and hope everyone will come out to the Pepsi 500. ‘It Feels Like The First Time’ all over again.”

One of the world's most popular and enduring rock bands, Foreigner will use Auto Club Speedway as the backdrop for its NASCAR-inspired title track to their new three-disc collection, including a CD album of all new music, a CD album of brand new remixes of the band's original hit recordings, and a DVD of the band in concert and beyond. The release will be available from Rhino Entertainment September 29th, exclusively at Walmart.

Foreigner’s race weekend performance is just a part of the iconic rock group’s larger collaboration with NASCAR. The band’s integration into NASCAR nation will also feature additional live performances at NASCAR events in 2009 and 2010, as well as a special video project that will include the NASCAR-inspired song 'Can’t Slow Down'. NASCAR has had a history of at-track activations with several high-profile musical acts, including the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, NICKELBACK, O.A.R. and recording artists KELLY CLARKSON, LEANN RIMES and SHERYL CROW.

Foreigner released a new three-disc collection, Can't Slow Down, including a CD album of all new music, a CD album of the band's original hit recordings, and a DVD of the band in concert and beyond, via Rhino Entertainment on September 29th, exclusively through Walmart, for $12.00.

Twelve tracks on the new album are produced by Mick Jones and Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, BUCKCHERRY), with celebrated Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson contributing the Mick Jones-penned 'Fool For You Anyway'. The title track, 'Can't Slow Down', was written by Mick Jones, Kelly Hansen, and Marti Frederiksen as a tribute to NASCAR in celebration of Foreigner's appearance at the Samsung 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway earlier this year. NASCAR fans bought so many CDs that day that Foreigner's 2008 release No End In Sight: The Very Best Of Foreigner was propelled back into the Billboard Top 200. The collection's second disc contains 10 remixes by Marti Frederiksen and Anthony Focx of some of the band's most well known songs, including 'Feels Like The First Time', 'Cold As Ice', 'Urgent', 'Hot Blooded', and 'I Want To Know What Love Is'. The remixes bring a new energy and sound definition to these classic songs.

The DVD captures the band performing many of its hits live in 5.1 surround sound. The DVD also contains performances filmed during the band's recently completed European tour. Also featured is a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Can't Slow Down, from writing sessions in New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles to the Walmart shareholders meeting where the exclusive partnership behind this project was finalized.

Foreigner has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide. The band will commence a 45-show headline trek across North America today.
