| Comments: | Most of the time, the presentation of the National Anthem prior to the race is very much like some American Idol auditions. Some are pathetic, and a few are good. These guys did the best job of singing the National Anthem that I have seen or heard in a long, long, time. I give them a 10+. |

| Comments: | It amazes me that Nascar or track owners are able to find enough people who want to butcher the national anthem.It is a disgrace how some of these nitwits put their own twist on what is suppose to be a beautiful song. Where do they find these idiots? |

| Comments: | Either get a military band or chorus or the MRO kids or don't bother doing it at all. It's our National Anthem for God's sake, not some pop tune subject to the musical whims and interpretations of somebody who can't remember the words.
Barry is write about the United States Code. Show the anthem and the flag the respect they deserve. |

| Comments: | To Barry of St. Louis: You are correct for civilians. Veterans are now authorized to give the hand salute during passing of the flag and the national anthem, courtesy of G. W. Bush as of 2008. |

| Comments: | Please ... the National Anthem already has a tune,is a beautiful anthem, and well represents a great Nation and its people. Don't hire those idiots who try to make it a pop song by warbling their out of tune voices all over the scale. |

| Comments: | Why does whom ever hires these performers not first tell them "You will not reinvent the Anthem" Period! You will sing it as per note on a music sheet. Providing any of them can read music
I get sick to my stomach listening to these Hollywood types
1. Who dont know the words.
2. Cant carry water let alone a note.
3. The egos of these so called artists are bigger than there heads. Seems they want to change the Anthem singing it "my way" and try and impress the world. GAG ME!
Im a bugler and play taps at Veteran funerals. I would be embarassed to miss a note let alone intentionally changing any of them to massage my ego.
Please! Please! Please!
Demand it be sang right or look for local talent that can.
Ive heard kids at the age of 12 yrs old sing the "National Anthem better than 90 percent of these BOZOS! At NASCAR race introductions.
Honor our country not the Hollywood stars

| Comments: | I don’t think anybody can question the “Love of Country” any of our NASCAR drivers, owners or teams for our beloved US of A.
BUT
During the playing of the National Anthem, the cameras panned many of the teams along pit road and it seems to me that only about half of them actually conduct themselves in accordance with
“The United States Code, Title 36, subtitle 1, Part A, Chapter 3, Section 301”
which is pasted below.
In a nutshell, it states the proper conduct during the playing of our National Anthem is to remove your hat and
place your hand over your heart.
I must admit, that until I looked it up, I thought that during the “Pledge of Allegiance” was the only proper time to place your hand over your heart, and it does appear that until this latest revision, published in 1998, that was the case.
It is what it is!! Today, the proper conduct, during the playing of our National Anthem is to remove your hat and place your hand over your heart.
Can you please help me to communicate this to the NASCAR community, so that we might all be aware of the “Right Thing To Do” during our National Anthem.
