BROOKLYN,
Mich. -- Michigan International Speedway has
announced that country music star Danielle Peck will perform
the National Anthem prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
3M Performance 400 presented by Bondo on Sunday.
It
will be the second time Peck has performed at MIS as the
Coshocton, Ohio, native sang the anthem prior to the Sprint
Cup Series race in August of 2006. She is scheduled to
perform as opening act for fellow country star Pat Green
during the Miller Lite Rock N’ Racing post-race
concert on Saturday, which will take place following the
NASCAR Nationwide Series CARFAX 250 on Saturday.
Additionally,
3M will be granting a wish to Austin Irwin, a 12-year-old
Make-A-Wish kid from Greenfield, Mo. Irwin will give the
command to start engines for the 3M Performance 400 presented
by Bondo, as well as meet his favorite driver Jeff Gordon
prior to the race.
The
honorary starter for the 3M Performance 400 presented
by Bondo is senior vice president and chief financial
officer for 3M, Pat Campbell. Campbell will wave the green
flag to start the track’s 79th career Sprint Cup
Series event.
“Pre-race
ceremonies for a Sprint Cup Series event are always exciting,
and this one will be no different,” track President
Roger Curtis said. “Being able to grant a Make-A-Wish
to a child like Austin is really special. To have him
participate in the ceremonies with a wonderfully accomplished
country star like Danielle Peck will be exciting for him.
Mr. Campbell and the whole 3M company is in its third
year of sponsoring a Cup race with us, and we have really
enjoyed our relationship with them.”
