Melissa Etheridge, a Grammy and Academy award winning musician, will sing the national anthem before the start of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race on Sunday at California Speedway.
"As an outspoken advocate for the environment, human rights, and cancer survivors, Melissa Etheridge is more than just a wonderfully talented musician," said California Speedway president Gillian Zucker. "We can't wait to introduce this Grammy and Academy Award winner to NASCAR at California Speedway.”
Etheridge joins a star-filled lineup of musicians scheduled to participate in various events at California Speedway throughout the Labor Day race weekend. Platinum recording artist 30 Seconds to Mars will perform during the Miller Lite Rock ’n Racing show prior to the Sharp AQUOS 500, while 25-time Grammy Award winner Stevie Wonder will serve as the race’s Grand Marshal. Additionally, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the stars of the hit Saturday morning original series “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” will be honorary starters.
