Six-week tour across four states selects five winners
Five singers selected in the Charlotte Motor Speedway Superstar and Trophy Tour presented by Coca-Cola, Walmart and Sprint will perform during 10 Days of NASCAR Thunder pre-race festivities from May 15-24.
The six-week tour, launched last month, gave fans a chance to audition in a mobile studio at Walmart locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Winners were chosen by a panel of judges from Charlotte Motor Speedway.
On Friday night, Cassie McKee, of Greensboro, North Carolina, will sing “God Bless America” and Bryson Allen, of Lauren, South Carolina, will sing the national anthem before the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series N.C. Education Lottery 200 (8:30 p.m., ET, FOX Sports 1, MRN, SiriusXM).
Before Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race (9 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1, MRN, SiriusXM), Rachel Travis, of Lynchburg, Virginia, will sing “God Bless America.”
Next Saturday, May 23, Milton, Georgia’s Kaylin McClure will perform “God Bless America” before the NASCAR XFINITY Series Hisense 300 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM).
Prior to the 56th running of the Coca-Cola 600, Danelle Johnson, of Warsaw, North Carolina will provide her rendition of “God Bless America” (May 24, 6 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM).
