I’m singing the national anthem at the NASCAR South Point 400 on October 11 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. When I launched anthem across America, my heart was to bring people back to the love of our country, to make the anthem a moment that unites us again, and now, to carry that message onto to one of the biggest stages in Vegas, is incredible. 80,000 fans, in the stadium, televised across the country, this is bigger than I ever imagined, and I get to do it in my hometown.””NASCAR has always been one of the most iconic Vegas events. Before the Raiders, before the Golden Knights, Vegas had NASCAR, and now I get to step right onto the track with the anthem. God is so good. October 11th, mark your calendars, NASCAR, Vegas and the anthem. This is what the anthem across America is all about,” she further added.Here’s the video of Wy Mac on Instagram: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe upcoming Focused Health 302 is going to be the first race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs round of 8.
