Blake Shelton Providing Opening Song For NASCAR

(Radio.com) Blake Shelton is lending his talents to NASCAR singing the opening song for NASCAR on NBC. Like Carrie Underwood has done for Sunday Night Football, he reworked one of his tunes to fit the program.

Shelton rewrote the lyrics to his 2014 song "Bringing Back the Sunshine" off his album by the same name. The upbeat song features a big anthemic chorus that is pure country through and through.

"Happy to be back to kickoff NBC Sports' second season of NASCAR coverage and be able to rework my song, 'Bringing Back the Sunshine' for the opening theme song," said Shelton in a press release. "I am a true NASCAR fan and love being around the sport, spending time with the drivers, so this is a lot of fun for me." Read more here.
