Zendaya will present the National Anthem prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series championship race, the Ford EcoBoost 400, at Homestead-Miami
Speedway on Sunday, November 17. Homestead-Miami Speedway President
Matthew Becherer made the announcement.
Zendaya
recently released her self-titled debut full-length
album featuring her hit single “Replay.” She also stars as Raquel
“Rocky” Blue, one half of the comedic duo of young dancers trying to
dance her way to stardom, in the hit Disney Channel series “Shake It
Up!” Zendaya was the break out star and runner-up on
Season 16 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
“One
of the hallmarks of a NASCAR event is the entertainment
surrounding the race,” said Becherer. “Zendaya rounds out an already
stellar entertainment lineup and will make the day that much more
memorable. I’m sure she’ll give a stirring rendition of ‘The
Star-Spangled Banner’ that our fans will enjoy.”
The
Los Angeles resident has performed around the world,
including at the White House and in the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
Parade. She is currently touring select cities with her Z-Swagg Dancers
and Singers. Zendaya is also featured on numerous soundtracks including
Shake It Up: Break It Down, Shake It Up: Live
