Dream come true for Las Vegas native! Ashlie to sing at NASCAR week-end!

Las Vegas’ Ashlie Jones to sing national anthem for Sam’s Town 300

Feb. 27 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Ashlie Jones will get her big break on Saturday, Feb. 27, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Jones, a Las Vegas resident and aspiring singer, won the recent FOX 5 TV Speedway Superstar competition and will sing the national anthem prior to the start of the Sam’s Town 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race.

“I am looking forward to just being a part of the NASCAR Weekend experience and am grateful for the opportunity,” said Jones. “This will be the first time I will attend a live race and I am looking forward to performing in front of such a big crowd.”

Jones, a 25-year-old employee at Earth Limos & Buses, has been singing in local performances for several years but will experience her first NASCAR race at LVMS on Feb. 27.

Race sponsor Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall and FOX 5 TV staged an open audition to find a talent to sing the national anthem and chose Jones out of more than 170 contestants.

“I was watching FOX 5 in the morning while getting ready for work and heard about the open auditions,” said Ashlie. “I thought I would give it a go and it paid off. I have been seeking ways to break into the music business and hopefully this will be a great opportunity to do that.”
