Written by SLN Staff Writer February 22, 2012

Chris Cagle will “get his NASCAR on” when he sings the National Anthem prior to the upcoming NASCAR Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL, on February 25. In addition to performing during Saturday’s race, Cagle also will ride “shotgun” with friend and NASCAR driver Mike Wallace, when Cagle’s image appears on the decklid of Wallace’s No. 01 G&K Services Chevrolet car.

“Just being in Daytona during the kick-off of the NASCAR racing season is a big deal, but when I found out I was going to be featured on the car, it was unbelievable! On top of that, getting the call to sing our National Anthem before the Nationwide Series race…it’s a dream come true!,” Cagle expressed.

“It’s going to be fun to have my friend Chris Cagle on our car. He’s an excellent country artist with songs everyone can relate to in life. Maybe we can inspire him to write a song about racing for us,” said Wallace, who will open the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Daytona International Speedway.

Cagle plans to enjoy the monumental day with his wife Kay. “I am a huge NASCAR fan and a dear friend to Mike Wallace and his family! This is going to be an amazing day for me and something I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do! I’m going to enjoy every single moment, not to mention, the pleasure of introducing my wife to one of the greatest spectator sports that America has to offer,” said Cagle.

Chris Cagle’s performance of the national anthem with air at 1:18 P.M. EST/12:18 P.M. CST on ESPN.
