INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Three-time Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson will sing the national anthem at this month’s Indianapolis 500.
It’s the second time she has performed at the world’s largest single-day sporting event. But May 27 will mark her first solo act at IndyCar’s biggest race.
Clarkson sang with Seal and was accompanied by David Foster on piano before the 2011 race.
