FEBRUARY 15, 1998 KATHY MATTEA PERFORMED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THE DAYTONA 500 
IN DAYTONA, FLORIDA. HER PERFORMANCE WAS MAGNIFICENT. 

200,000 RACE CAR FANS WERE PRESENT TO HEAR HER PERFORM THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND 
TO SEE THE FOUR UNITED STATES AIR FORCE F-16 JETS DO A FLY-BY AT THE END OF THE SONG. 
IT WAS AWESOME.
