Country singer RaeLynn is set to perform the national anthem at the upcoming Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR race in Nashville, a event scheduled for May 31 that forms part of a triple‑header weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. The performance marks a homecoming for the two‑time ACM Awards nominee, who grew up in the Nashville area and will be singing before a crowd at the historic venue that has long been a staple of Middle Tennessee motorsports.
A hometown honor
RaeLynn, currently on the road with Luke Bryan’s 2026 Word on the Street Tour, has been promoting new releases such as “Long Live Country Music,” “Heaven Is a Honky Tonk,” and “Fall Together,” songs that have helped her amass more than two‑and‑a‑half million followers and over one billion career streams. Her recent material reflects a deep connection to the country genre and a commitment to storytelling that resonates with fans across the United States.
The Cracker Barrel 400 will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video and PRN, giving viewers across the country a chance to experience the racing action alongside the anthem performance. The race will take place at Nashville Superspeedway, one of Middle Tennessee's most storied motorsports venues, and will be part of a packed schedule that includes the NTT INDYCAR Series on July 19.
Nashville Superspeedway General Manager Matt Greci praised RaeLynn’s connection with fans, noting that her presence underscores the venue’s deep roots in the local community while also highlighting the growing synergy between country music and NASCAR. Greci emphasized that the event offers a unique opportunity to celebrate both the sport and the region’s cultural heritage.
