Gator Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I am sitting here listening to the NASCAR race, and the girl singing the NATIONAL anthem is singing O CANADA???? WHAT THE ???????? is THAT all about???? Okay here we go, Josh Gracin(sp) is singing OUR anthem. Why in the **** was O CANADA sung, I thought the race was in Michigan?

Tominator Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? Hmmmmm, don't know. Is there a Canadian driver? I just heard the Korean anthem on ABC--clicked over from golf during a commercial break. I must say it's a nice anthem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? Ive went to the Michigan race (August race) for about 14 years and they have ALWAYS sang the Canada National Anthem before the American National Anthem. I know theres alot of Canadians that attend that race because its so close to the border so that must be why. Its nothing new at MIS.

tedicast Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? I have heard the Canadian anthem played at Loudon Hew Hampshire too. I thin kthe tracks up north play it for the Canadian fans come down for the races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drkillemquick Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? I know in hockey games we play the visitors anthem first, then the home anthem. Same with ball games at Blue Jay games, at home or on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? I have nothing against Canada, but I would do away with singing their national anthem all together in America. I mean, this is America right, let's stick to singing our anthem to let those from accross the border remember how lucky they are to be in the U S of A!

MUDRUNNER Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: National Anthem????? WHAT THE???? I don't see what the big deal is.I enjoy hearing Oh Canada.I believe generally when they play it in the U.S. it is played before The National Anthem.I don't feel that it disrespects ours one bit. I understand why they would play it with so many Canadiens going to the races up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just asking a question 'cause I had NEVER heard the Canadian National Anthem sung in America at a NASCAR race. Sorry I asked...........
