Born and raised in nearby Coshocton, Ohio, Peck will perform The Star-Spangled Banner on Sunday, August 20 at Michigan International Speedway prior to the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series GFS Marketplace 400.

"We are thrilled to have Danielle Peck join us to perform for our final event of the season. It's exciting to have such an extremely talented vocalist from the Midwest honoring our country during pre-race ceremonies," said Brett Shelton, president of MIS. "Having Danielle at MIS is a great addition to the final event of our 2006 season, and we are sure that our fans will enjoy it."

Danielle Peck's star has risen dramatically. As the fastest-selling debut female country artist of 2006, Peck has seen her brand-new single, "Findin' a Good Man", climb to the Top 20 in the R&R chart and the Top 20 on Billboard. She wrote eight of the 11 songs on her self-titled debut CD, which was released in stores on June 6 and debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top New Artist Albums chart.

Danielle is one of only four new female country artists in the last three years to enter the Top 20 on the country airplay charts, joining Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson and Miranda Lambert. Recently, Danielle has opened for Toby Keith, Big & Rich, Brad Paisley, Sara Evans, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Montgomery Gentry. Since her November 2005 debut on the Grand Ole Opry's "Women of Country" show, Peck has returned to the show several times, including a televised performance with Lee Ann Womack, Carrie Underwood, and Lorrie Morgan during the spring.
