Nashville Superspeedway Launches “NashCar Superstar” Competition

Nashville Superspeedway has announced the launch of its “NashCar Superstar” Sweepstakes, inviting local musicians to audition for a chance to sing the national anthem prior to the “Rackley Roofing 200” NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on June 18.

Those wishing to compete will need to upload a video of themselves singing the national anthem via NashcarSuperstar.com. Entry videos will go live on the NashCar Superstar website for the public to enjoy. To narrow down the top entries, videos will be vetted by the Nashville Superspeedway staff and the top three finalists will be determined by May 24. In keeping with most singing competitions, the fans will make the final vote on who they want to sing the national anthem.

“Nashville is a special place for many reasons, but ‘Music City’ is what really makes it magic. When we were looking for artists to perform our national anthem it became clear that the very best talent is right in our backyard, and sometimes it’s not the person at the top of the charts,” says Erik Moses, president of Nashville Superspeedway. “In this city some of the most amazing performances happen on smaller stages. We want those artists on our big stage for race weekend, and we can’t wait to see the talent that emerges from this contest.”

Individuals and groups are welcome to submit videos. All submissions must be 1:30 – 2 minutes long.

Tickets are available in the main grandstand for Nashville Superspeedway’s first two races on Father’s Day weekend–the “Tennessee Lottery 250” NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, June 19 and the “Rackley Roofing 200” NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday, June 18.
