Bomshel to Sing National Anthem at Eldora

Curb recording duo Bomshel will sing the National Anthem prior to the third annual NEXTEL Prelude to the Dream presented by Old Spice June 6 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

The NEXTEL Prelude to the Dream will feature racing icons Tony Stewart, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Denny Hamlin, Bobby Labonte and others competing in 2,300-pound dirt late model stock cars capable of putting out more than 800 horsepower.

The race will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View with the proceeds from the groundbreaking telecast going to support the Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Tony Stewart Foundation.

"We’re very excited that Bomshel will be performing the National Anthem prior to the NEXTEL Prelude to the Dream presented by Old Spice," said Stewart, a multi-time racing champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. "They’ve got a fantastic sound and they’ll do a great job performing the National Anthem, not only for everyone in attendance at Eldora, but for everyone watching at home on HBO Pay-Per-View."

"We can't wait!" said Bomshel’s Kristy O. "It’s always a big honor to be able to deliver the National Anthem, especially at an event like this."

"We’re proud to be chosen to sing the Anthem," added Buffy Lawson. "Maybe afterward they’ll let me drive!"

Bomshel is currently traveling the country on the Wicked Women of Tequila Rose tour sponsored by McCormick
