Following his arrest on DUI charges last week, Sam Hunt will no longer perform at the first-ever NASCAR Awards on December 5, Billboard reports.
The event takes place in Nashville, and closes out a week of NASCAR festivities; Cassadee Pope will co-host with racing analyst Rutledge Wood.
Originally, both Sam and Chris Janson were set to perform at the event — now only Chris will appear.
As previously reported, Sam was arrested November 21 after driving the wrong way down a street in Nashville. He was found to have a blood alcohol level of .173 and he had two open containers in his car.
He later tweeted that choosing to drive himself home after a concert was a “a poor and selfish decision,” and promised, “It won’t happen again.”
