    Jim Cornelison to sing National Anthem at this years PDC @ FALS

    A bit surprised this hasn't been posted here yet -

    FairburySpeedway.com is the official website of America's Dirt Track, a 1/4 mile semi-banked dirt oval located in Fairbury, Illinois.


    Over/Under on the PA being destroyed? Haha!

    That man has some pipes!!
    Without a doubt the best and most energy charged rendition of the National Anthem sung the way it should be.
    You are right Shaferz they better have a good PA system!!

            He does the national anthem for the Chicago Blackhawks (NHL) home games at the United Center in Chicago. Dude does one he!! of a job singing the national anthem. The 2015 Prairie Dirt Classic just got that much better. Been to a many Blackhawks games and he always gets the fans going.
            I might be wrong correct me if I am but isn't he from the Chicago Opera House?

                Thanks to all you guys who answered my question. He sure does a great job of singing own national anthem. You should never cut corners on that song, and FALS is making sure that they are at the highest quality of entertainment. This guy is prime example.

                    That was 3.000 wasn't it? Oh yeah, it was reduced as soon as the guy who posted it seen his exaggeration went to far. Funny how fast 2,700 fans can just disappear like that lol.

                        While its extremely far fetched, I wish you had to be licensed to sing the National Anthem in public, especially after goofs like Rosanne Barr and Mary J. Blige. At the same time, I've heard kids and amateurs alike do a great job considering. Wayne Messmer was another one who is/was outstanding. Anyone who's been to a Blackhawks game has experienced one or both of these greats!

                            Just hoping the crowd will cheer like at hawks games.... That gives me chills every time I see it in person. It would also be nice to show some respect to a few vets like the hawks do before he sings

                              Just some info for those interested. After working on this for three years his scheduling/family time finally worked for both parties. Typically he keeps July open for family and the Chicago Blackhawks convention only. Jim is very excited about our event.
                              His appearance will be totally funded by fans and any monies over the fee will be donated to a charity.
                              The Fairbury Fan Club will be in charge as FALS is busy enough that weekend.
                              We are currently working with various veterans organizations to make this anthem special for them. Other activities are in the works as well.
                              Keep an eye on FALS' sites and once everything is finalized we will post a complete schedule of events that tie in with Jim's appearance.
