Kelly Clarkson hooks up with NASCAR
Joining a list of artists that includes LeAnn Rimes, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Lenny Kravitz, Grammy winner and former American Idol queen Kelly Clarkson has signed a deal to form the biggest-ever partnership between NASCAR and a musical artist. Vegas oddsmakers have not yet announced the Over/Under for Kelly appearances on The NASCAR Channel SPEED TV this season, but you can pencil us right in for the "over" because it is the lock of the year.
You'll also be shocked...shocked to learn that Kelly says she's a big NASCAR fan and looks forward to hanging out with the whole ever-lovin' NASCAR community. NASCAR (obviously) feels that this relationship will develop into something big. Welcome to the NASCAR/Kelly mutual admiration society.
Her NASCAR debut will be as the headliner in the "Tribute to America" concert that'll air prior to next month's season-opening Daytona 500. During the show, NASCAR will shoot a TV commercial that spotlights Kelly as she sings a new song off her upcoming CD. Finally, she'll be the official spokesperson for the fourth annual NASCAR Day this May, during which the organization raises money for charitable causes.

They don't call it NASCRAP for nothing. Stupid idea bringing in TV show singers. Maybe they should try making the racing better instead of worrying about tv ratings and revenues.

Where all the smart ass comments when NFL gets in bed with Viagra rockers like who could be our grandfathers. Get over it. No sporting league today is just about sports. You all certainly watched Janet in the SB. What does she knows about football? GET OVER IT.

When you get a fever from the fans, you get the song and dance crowd showing up. Sports is nice... but REAL stars make the fans wet themselves.

Her line of bullshit about being a nascar fan is just that a line of bullshit. Blah blah blah I hear this same crap from all celebrities when they're brought in to host something. Give us a break we don't believe your crap anymore. Just admit you're not a fan and it's just a job. I never liked her and her nose ring not to mention her very lot cut slut shirts she sings in. One good gust of a wind and the whole world sees that flat chest.

Don't hate. Kelly is trying to build her bank account like any other American. NASCAR fan or not. You wouldn't turn down the offer if it came to you. It's the American way.

Apparently, NASCAR/ISC/SMI think that ALL of the NASCAR fans actually watch & enjoy American Hack ... err, American Idol ... Frankly, I hate it & don't watch AI ...
As NASCAR fans, we're stuck with being guaranteed at least 2 craptacular renditions of the National Anthem by the AI hacks per season ... including one rendition where multiple AI losers take turns in attempting to sing the National Anthem ...
IF kelly was such a huge fan of NASCAR as she claims ... she'd know that real fans don't call it the "NASCAR community" ... we call it the "NASCAR Family" ...
