TALLADEGA(WDNG) - American Idol Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks is scheduled to perform the National Anthem at this weekend’s Camping World RV Sales 500. Officials at the racetrack confirmed on Thursday Hicks will perform the National Anthem to start Sunday’s race at the Talladega Superspeedway, the sixth race of the chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship.
After winning American Idol in 2006, Hicks went on to become a nationally recognized recording artist and had the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 2009.
Track officials also confirmed Thursday the Huntsville group FAHRENHEIT will perform the National Anthem before the Camping World Truck Series race on Saturday. FAHRENHEIT was started in 2008 by Huntsville Fire chief Danny Loggins and features Alabama firefighters.
Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch said in a Thursday release “it’s great getting to have singers that represent the state of Alabama during our weekends, and having these performances is a testament to the entertainment our state has to offer.”
