Jimmy Eat World made the somewhat unconventional choice to perform at an Arby’s in Daytona Beach, FL ahead of the Daytona 500 weekend festivities. The platinum-certified alternative rockers’ set was no mere random coincidence, but rather part of a promotional stunt staged alongside JR Motorsports and their driver Carson Kvapil, who have brought the fast food chain on as a sponsor.

Of course, the buzz around the set also benefits Jimmy Eat World as well, as the group announced their “Bleed American” 25th anniversary tour earlier this week with Thrice, Sunny Day Real Estate and more opening.
