LILA McCANN LEARNS ABOUT NASCAR RACING FROM A REAL PRO -
DALE EARNHARDT JR.

Platinum-selling country star Lila McCann has long wanted to attend a NASCAR-style auto race and the invitation to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee presented the perfect opportunity. Last weekend she not only delivered a sterling rendition to the race's TNT television audience, not to mention the100, 000 + race fans in attendance at the speedway, but she also went to the right source to find out more about car racing - Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Lila was thrilled to meet Dale Jr. in the pits and also be invited into his Budweiser team trailer to cool down and talk (the track temp. hovered over 100 degrees). After finding out everything she wanted to know about the auto sport from Dale Jr., she was able to return the favor when he asked her advice regarding tour buses. He mentioned he might be in the market for one for his team.

Lila was also suitably dressed for the chitchat with Dale Jr., because the Bristol Motor Speedway outfitted Lila with a custom-made race suit of her own.

Lila McCann is currently promoting Complete, her 3rd album, released recently by Warner Bros. Records.
