Billy Reasons Performs National Anthem for Milwaukee Mile's Biggest Motorsports Weekend of the Year!

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 19, 2009 – Nashville, TN - Nashville recording artist Billy Reasons will perform the National Anthem for both racing events at the Milwaukee Mile this weekend.  The Camping World Truck Series Copart 200 will kick off tonight at 8:00 PM CST and will air on The SPEED Network.  The NorthernTool.com 250 will begin on Saturday, June 20th at 7::30 PM CST and will air on ESPN.

Billy is appearing on behalf of “Operation Bear Drop” a program created by MyHuggy to provide talking bears to children whose parents are deployed in the military.  The lovable, plush MyHuggy is not just any talking bear!  Parents and loved ones are able to record a personal message to their children that plays when the bear is hugged tight.  Military parents deployed overseas can use this to comfort a child who is often sad and nervous about the parent’s absence.

Wyler Racing, with Stacy Compton driving the #60 Toyota Tundra in Friday’s race heard the news that Billy and MyHuggy were appearing at the track.  They immediately jumped on board and offered to host Billy and the organization for the day as well as promote the MyHuggy on the #60 truck!

Billy, having formerly served in the military, learned about “Operation Bear Drop” in earlier this year and immediately began supporting the initiative through his career as a recording artist.  Dedicating himself to the men and women that serve, Billy has also traveled overseas to perform for the troops.  Billy will be recording new music in the studio this summer with award winning producer and co-founding member of Alabama, Teddy Gentry.

Tune in to SpeedTV tonight at 9:00 PM EST / 8:00 PM CST to watch for the Wyler Racing #60 Toyota Tundra with the MyHuggy logo!
