It's one of the biggest events in American sports, so it only makes sense that the Indianapolis 500 will bring out one of America's most versatile singers. It was announced today that country star LeAnn Rimes will sing the national anthem during pre-race ceremonies at the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"To sing the national anthem at one of the most prestigious racing events is truly an honor," said Rimes. "The adrenaline at the Speedway is felt around the world and I know I am one of millions who is so excited to hear those six legendary words 'ladies and gentlemen, start your engines."
