LEBANON, Tenn. — Nashville Superspeedway announced that two-time ACM Awards nominee RaeLynn will perform the national anthem before the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on May 31.
“Singing the national anthem at Nashville Superspeedway is a full-circle moment for me,” said RaeLynn. “Nashville is home, and I am so grateful for this opportunity.”
RaeLynn, a hit-making country artist with more than 2.5 million followers and over one billion career streams, will take center stage for one of Music City’s most iconic sporting events before the green flag waves on Nashville Superspeedway's sixth NASCAR Cup Series triple-header weekend.
“RaeLynn is exactly the kind of artist that embodies what our 'High-Speed Honky Tonk' is all about,” said Matt Greci, general manager of Nashville Superspeedway. “Her voice, her story and her connection with fans make her the perfect choice to open the Cracker Barrel 400. We couldn't be prouder to welcome her to Nashville Superspeedway on race day.”
A platinum-certified recording artist known for early smashes including "Boyfriend" and "God Made Girls," RaeLynn has built one of country music's most genuine and loyal fanbases through her vibrant storytelling, infectious personality and dynamic live performances.
Fresh off Jason Aldean’s Full Throttle Tour 2025 and currently touring with Luke Bryan on his 2026 Word on the Street Tour, RaeLynn arrives at Nashville Superspeedway in the midst of a confident creative chapter marked by recent releases including “Heaven Is A Honky Tonk,” “Long Live Country Music,” and “Fall Together.”
The Cracker Barrel 400 is set for May 31, at 6 p.m. CT at Nashville Superspeedway, broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
